Re: Your "Take"

At the very least, those taking to the streets to protest the war show the world that a great many Americans do not approve of this bellicose action by our government.

You might ask yourself if it would it have been better for the United States to have stayed on in Viet Nam, losing slowly, until 1980 or beyond?

Had it not been for the anti-war protesters of the 60s and 70s - many of them veterans - it is possible, if not likely, that the United States might have continued on in SE Asia for many more years, with the attendant convoy of body bags back to the states, to say nothing of the death and devastation to the Vietnamese who were fighting to defend their homeland.

When the government is wrong, as it is in this case, it is the right of the people to express their disapproval.
