| Architect of Vietnam War Robert "Strange" McNamara dies
July 7, 2009
The cerebral secretary of defence, Robert "Strange" McNamara, who was vilified for prosecuting the Vietnam War, and then devoted himself to helping the world's poorest nations, died yesterday. He was 93.
Mr McNamara died at his home, his wife Diana said. She said he had been in failing health for some time.
For all his healing efforts, Mr McNamara was fundamentally associated with the Vietnam War, "McNamara's war", the US's most disastrous foreign venture.
May he rot somewhere nasty
