Give Peace a Chance

Lennon's legendary peace march anthem.

Peace may come with another paradigm, and perhaps some entertainers will help to usher it in, but as long as the planet is controlled by the dark side, no reasonable petition, well-meaning projects, marches on Washed-outtown, letters to tiny empire builders (congress and senate putties),and free hug campaigns, are going to do anything.....but get folks on lists, and in some peoples cases, like ol' JL, perhaps a sleeper with a pistol.....

President Johnson sabotaged the war? Am sorry but you need to re-do your American history course. The CIA backed the extermination of thousands of people in East Timor. The Gulf Of Tonkin incident was a gross lie, the administration operated on the assumption of the domino theory whereas in reality Vietnam and China hate each other for thousands of years.

The Paris peace plan was nearly signed by both sides with Nixon exiting office, Kissinger sabotaged it and peace was eluded because someone was playing a 19th century diplomacy game using American lives. Then they proceeded to have the largest bombing operation ever to prove to the South Vietnamese that they fucking meant to stay.

Kissinger then tried to lie to the American people and expanded the war into Cambodia facilitating the rise of Khmer Rouge regime due to destabilization in the country side. B-52s would take off and have target corrections going into the Cambodian border, when they landed the logs of course showed operations within Vietnam.

The Vietnam war ended not because of hippies, or war vets or anything like that. It ended because the American people did not want it, nor did they support it.

Your comments make the people who got shot by the National Guard at universities across the country seem insignificant and trivial, this was the time of the draft and people didn't want to go killing another race of people half across the world for dubious reasons.
