and rethink the vietnam war. within one month, comber has come up with a new strategy which adds passfication and building the confidence of the south vietnamese -- in other words no unilateral victory by americans. think about iran and afghanistan in our time. if somebody else's country have to come through a civil war, they have got to do it. we can help. we cannot win the war and turn the country back over to them. they knew this. johnson begins to move. another major development i think is in late february and early march, 1967, robert kennedy comings out against johnson and against the vietnam war. if you read less is -- sleschenger is pleased with himself in figuring out that the vietnam war can be used against lyndon johnson to deny him the presidency and open up a way for robert kennedy to become president. this is his book from '66, the bitter heritage. if you go to this book and this book and the other book and fulbright's vietnam hearing, you will go back to french scholars only. none of these people c

it was the peace movement versus the vietnam movement, which wasn't really. it was a kind of hope of a certain political class in washington and that's when our politics was suddenly flooded with long-haired, bearded young people who looked like they were against every value held by people who then looked at the way you're dressed right now and the truth of it is many of them were against every value held by people who were still wearing neckties and getting regular haircuts. the country felt itself in many ways to be culturally coming of hearts, which was then being expressed in our political candidacies on the left with a gene mccarthy and on the farthest right of the spectrum at that time, george wallace. southern segregationist, governor, running for president in the hope of turning back the clock on integration and then that side of the politics being sort of discreetly piggybacked on the republican nominee eventually, richard nixon, who didn't want to say anything to alienate what had become the logs-- wallace faction in our politics and fell with a com
