Paper advice

Some quick advice on writing a paper about The Fog of War. First, don't write a movie summary. Assume your audience has seen the movie, so just jump right into the paper. Second, focus on only ONE (maybe two) of the lessons from McNamara. Pick ayone you like. Write about how it fits into the first three chapters of our textbook. Write about what that lesson can tell us about current political events. Also, write about whether you think McNamara is right. Do you agree w/ the point he's making? McNamara's a very smart guy, w/ a wealth of experience. But that doesn't mean that his word is gospel; you CAN disagree w/ him.
