Why the Truman Library?
SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, President Harry S. Truman’s role as President was so important and so historic and he was the initiator of so many aspects of the post Cold War world institutions, programs, activities, executive orders, actions, and it, of course, as President Kennedy described it, was a long twilight struggle. It didn’t end with a signing ceremony on the USS Missouri as World War II had. And there obviously are notable differences between the Cold War and the global struggle that we’re engaged in today against violent extremists, but there are also a lot of similarities. AGAR: So it seems like an apropos place to be. What did you make of the fact that a pretty major conservative commentator, Bill Buckley, wrote a column just the last few days saying we’ve lost and we should admit defeat. SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Interesting. I haven’t seen it. He is a friend, and I’ve not seen Bill’s column to that effect. I think that time will prove him wrong. AGAR: You’re still confident? SECR
