"Thousands demanded American withdrawal from a nation under siege by totalitarians bent on enslaving millions."

Exactly!

[Empireoftheatom48]

This article is right on the money!

Will they be able to carry the bloodbath on their consciences [which assumes they have one]? Absolutely! They never broke stride after 'Nam, never looked back. They ostracized the few leftists who brought up what happened in Cambodia and wanted to do different ads and petitions [Joan Baez].

Need more proof? The crap that's gone on for the last three years, culminating with this last piece of deja vu should be proof enough. It amazes me that they hold their heads up. Tough to do without a spine.

They are so filled with rage they like it when totalitarians butcher thousands or millions. They secretly wish they could do the same. They picture themselves the executioners, never the executed.

Are the demonstrators and their allies in Congress and the media prepared to carry that burden on their consciences?

The problem with this last statement is the assumption that Liberals have a conscience. They do not!

That's why we must ever be vigilant about keeping our guns.

[Guenevere]

Thank-you again!

We know why you were there.

They'll just blame it all on Bush.

Wow! I never knew the Examiner had such cajones.

[MaestroLC]

Are the demonstrators and their allies in Congress and the media prepared to carry that burden on their consciences?

Yes, they are. Hate and rage mixed with ignorance and denial; these libs want American defeat. We withdrawal now, the terrorists will come here and kill us in many more 9/11s. These lib kooks must be defeated in 2008. Victory or death--that is the real choice for America.

Lest we forget:

[Ditto]

Are the demonstrators and their allies in Congress and the media prepared to carry that burden on their consciences?

Sure they are. As long as America loses, they don't give a damn how many die. They didn't care about Southeast Asia 30 years ago, and they don't care about the Mideast today.

[Rummyfan]

Those bozos tout their opposition to the Vietnam War as a badge of honor. Funny how they never mention the 2 million murdered in Cambodia and the boat people desperate to escape the new worker's paradise in Vietnam.

[dfwgator]

This is the legacy of the hippies.

Actually, Kerry has refused to acknowledge there is a connection between the two. Just as he has refused to acknowledge that which is in the memoirs of the N.Vietnamese general who confirmed that the antiwar protesters kept his own troops moral up and ultimately contributed to their victory.

[MizSterious]

Excellent column. Doesn't Bill Sammon work for the Examiner these days? This almost seems like something he'd write.

"Eventually, millions of Afghanis died because the Soviets were emboldened by America’s defeat in Vietnam to send the Red Army streaming into Afghanistan."

And here is the root cause of the ME turmoil we have today. It all goes back to Vietnam, which ultimately enabled what we're seeing today. If Russia hadn't moved into Afghanistan, the Taliban might not have ever been.
