We're really opening those unsolved differences. Maybe it's a good thing, since younger generations are ignoring the cost of war. Where are the protests about the slaughter in the Mideast?

Those who didn't agree with the war weren't like today's youth, acting like it's a video game that doesn't involve them. We protested the war, we questioned it, our culture was against war as opposed to finding a better way.

I grant you that it got manipulated and turned around to the beginnings of everything politically correct and it's gotten us where we are today. But originally? The anti-war people were sincere. After WW2 and Korea, a lot of segments of the population were wondering if war would ever end, and wanted a better safer world.

"The anti-war people were sincere"

No, they weren't. The "antiwar" organizations were led by the pro-enemy People's Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ), a communist-front outfit and the New Mobe (formerly the National Mobilization for Peace), a Socialist Worker's Party front and both of those organizations were in direct contact with the enemy throughout.

Only the truly uninformed really thought that the antiwar movement was a "spontaneous uprising of conscience".

There were only two parts of the antiwar/pro-enemy movement: the communist sympathizers who wanted the US to lose that war and the willing dupes who were looking to avoid dangerous service. The children of those people are who make up the Obama team.
