I was an Indonesian high school student during the Vietnam war. Although far away, I did remember seeing photo's in the newspapers or maybe in the black-and-white TV then, about the massive demonstrations in the whole USA opposing the Vietnam war with its 1500 soldiers dead every month.
I never heard or see any photo or news about the bombings of Pentagon,until yesterday in the TV I see a clip of a long haired young Ayers,(I think, he DID look like a Che Guevara terrorist, or a drug addict hippie), and clips of burning buildings (not clear whether it was Pentagon, or Vietnam?).
well, he was a good-motivated (anti-war) activist with a wrong tactic, labelled terrorist.
But it was 40 years ago,he was old and changed now,becoming sane now from his insane years,(all his bombings futile, as it seems the demo's which end the war), short minded person, and have NO connection to today's politics or political leaders.
It is Palin now with her agitations pushing her fans to "Kill Obama!" which seems like an Extremist agitator (ending with terrorism, eg shooting Obama)
