In response to Cause and Strategy posted by Migisi:

Answer to your question....NO.

I have tried to make clear that the "cynical, anti-war, leftist" stuff applies to the issue of CAUSE and NOT of strategy.

There were MANY, MANY people in the anti-Vietnam war movement who felt simply that the United States had botched Indochina and that we were sending more and more young men to their death for no reason - in light of how we had botched the war. These folks weren't anti-US, nor were they necessarily leftist.

BUT...there were others in the anti-Vietnam war movement who were more or less pulling for the Vietcong and the North Vietnamese. THAT is a different matter altogether.

I see the same lines of distinction with our present conflict.
