Re nixon...he procrastinated for far too long over vietnam and needlessly wasted far more american lives than was necessary. I accept your point about watergate though, however it opened the public's eyes to just how underhand political parties/presidents can actually be and thats possibly had a negative impact on how many people have viewed politics since
Nixon was no better or no worse than any other politician. I was fifteen years old when Watergate broke, still in high school, and full of mock outrage just like the rest of my generation. It took me close to forty years to realize that they're all the same. Nixon got caught. That's the only difference.
