ORIGINAL: Moonhead Depends on whether you think throttling back the cold war, patching things up with China, pulling the plug on the absurd amounts of money that had been thrown at NASA since the turn of the '60s, getting you out of Vietnam and the like are more important than arranging a burglary, I suppose. I tell you what though: if criminal allegations are a sticking point, then nobody who's followed is any better than Nixon, are they? Uhhh,,,,,,,well.... he was the only President who ever resigned. He resigned because of the criminal charges pending agaisnt him. Now explain to me why someone who needed a pardon was not guilty of criminal activity? Can you point out any other President that followed him, or for that matter before him, that faced criminal charges? ←Gerald Ford's Presidential Proclamations Proclamation 4311 by Gerald R. Ford Granting Pardon To Richard Nixon On September 8, 1974, Gerald Ford gave Nixon a full and unconditional pardon for any crimes he may have committed while President. Ford explained that he felt the pardon was in the best interests of the country and that the Nixon family's situation "is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part. It could go on and on and on, or someone must write the end to it. I have concluded that only I can do that, and if I can, I must."— Excerpted from Gerald Ford on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. As far as the rest of your nonsense I'll address one issue because I'm getting bored. Nixon tried to get us out of Vietnam but only after he escalated the war there. Ever heard of those B-52's bombing Cambodia? And he was not the reason we got out of there, it happened under Ford when Saigon was taken by the North Vietnamese and we left in disgrace being evacuated by helicopters.
