Epilogue EM: After you left the Johnson administration, why didn't you speak out against the Vietnam War? McNamara: I'm not going to say any more than I have. These are the kinds of questions that get me in trouble. You don't know what I know about how inflammatory my words can appear. A lot of people misunderstand the war, misunderstand me. A lot of people think I'm a son of a bitch. EM: Do you feel in any way responsible for the War? Do you feel guilty? McNamara: I don't want to go any further with this discussion. It just opens up more controversy. I don't want to add anything to Vietnam. It is so complex that anything I say will require additions and qualifications. EM: Is it the feeling that you're damned if you do, and if you don't, no matter what? McNamara: Yeah, that's right. And I'd rather be damned if I don't. Robert S. McNamara served as President of The World Bank from 1968 to 1981. Since his retirement, he has continued to work on problems of poverty, world health, and economic development.
