When Operation Market Garden failed, the Netherlands - less Jews and many Christians who were being exterminated in prison campes elsewhere - nearly starved to death. My grandfather risked his own life in the Dutch underground. Dad lost whole neighborhoods full of friends in Nazi-occupied Holland.
Even six decades later the horror of neighbors being lined up and shot by Hitler's thugs is nearly impossible for my father to convey.
The global warming debate has been interesting and informative. At other times insulting and frustrating. But never infuriating.
Gore owes my father an apology.
