Nice fairy tale you have got there, did you think Vietnam happened in a vacuum? If it wasn't Vietnam it would have been somewhere else, it was badly managed for sure but it would have happened in any event the USSR was pushing on all fronts.

Not a fairy tale. Just saying how different things would have been if different decisions had been made. One follows the other Viet Nam - Jane Fonda - SDS - William Ayers - WeatherUnderground - Code Pink - Obama. All these things are tied together. No Viet Nam or even if it had been delayed a few years - we might not have had the same group of people traveling back and forth to North Viet Name, Cuba and Soviet Union. Even three years later and Boudin might not have been so gung-ho about the Soviets... Not a fairy tale, just considering the possibilities and how we take actions and don’t realize how it can change everything.
