The sins of the father will be revisited...
The peace protesters of the 60s left the nation and the world of legacy of mostly responsible activism against the moral derelictions of government. They also commited irresponsible acts that I have always found disgusting, and now are coming back to haunt the anti-war population now

We generalize! As language speaking creatures, we generalize, distort, and delete. If we didn't generalize, we'd have to figure out where every key is every new keyboard we come across. So generalizing isn't a bad thing to do, as long as it's useful, and not over generalizing. Was I over generalizing? I was referring to movement as a whole, not just the thoughtful, bright protesters who work in the UT tower.
Also, I never said that there were bright people on both sides!! As a movement though, the right a.) has leadership that b.) has been writing a cohesive (if evil) foriegn policy for the last 12 years, and has taken the offensive in a calculated, effective manner and has won over the minds of a majority of the public.
No decisive leadership has emerged yet from the left, and we still have "No War For Oil" and "Bush Is A Nazi" signs up everywhere which are too simplistic really capture anything of what's going on in the world. Also still have protests by North Korea funded communists. There's no point in that!! That is not a cohesive anti-war left! Anyway...
