I was referring more to the generic Anthony Lewis position vis a vis the Vietnam War where we should get out of the war because it cannot be won. The war is an issue of pragmatics, not principle. This position has been taken with regards to Yugoslavia today.The 'far left' of the mainstream political spectrum if you will. It is a position within the parameters of acceptable discourse because it does not question the basic assumptions behind U.S./European foreign policy. But Chomsky told us this a long time ago.
