Earlier, I saw an A&E Biography on Eisenhower. What are your thoughts?

[coloradodem2005]

I thought He was a decent man who wanted to do what was right. He was far from the worst president, even if he may not have been the absolute best.

1. He was an honorable man

and deserves our respect.

2. Unlike Reagan, Ike was never an ideologue.

Just before he left office, he, a career military man, warned the nation about the growing military-industrial complex, and said that we must use force ONLY as a last resort, and strive for peaceful solutions to the world's problems.
