RED EYES

America is impossible without close

The invaders also anticipated,

correctly, that other Europeans

would question the morality of their

enterprise. They therefore [prepared]

... quantities of propaganda to
overpower their own countrymen’s
scruples. The propaganda gradually
took standard form as an ideology
with conventional assumptions and
semantics. We live with it still.
—FRANCIS JENNINGS^2

replies, “I could not have done that.”

Eventually, memory yields.
