I just wanted to point out that people can have those opinions even living in the United States. Chomsky is an American citizen, he is a professor at MIT (a groundbreaking, paradigm-shifting linguist as well as a historian and activist), and lives in Boston/Cambridge, MA. And there are other people who are strongly against the war... To make Mike feel better about the state of (some) young people, I was at an open discussion of young people from several schools in Ann Arbor last night, and there was a strong general anti-war sentiment. And a highly informed one. I wish I could send you the poem that one young person read in response to last week's events. It was impassioned, intelligent and powerful. It took a while for the anti-Vietnam movement to develop... perhaps this is just the beginning. Respectfully, -Yael
