#1 Unlike Vietnam, the Internet is going to allow the opposition to these bastards to be mobilized and ready for them. If they want trouble, they'll get it, and from people far more capable of dishing it out than they are. They were cowards then and they're cowards now.

#2 It is precisely a greater "global awareness" - made possible in large part by the internet - that means so many Americans support fighting the Long War.

#6 Now campuses are quieter, and some liberal baby-boomer professors grumble that students are too detached. But 24-year-old Miranda Wilson, national campus coordinator for Peace Action, says such stereotyping is wrong and contends there is broad, though often low-key, opposition to the war.

"During Vietnam, people were questioning the government itself it got a lot more coverage," she said. "What's happening now isn't so dramatically visible from the outside."

Democratic Sen. John Kerry, who returned from Vietnam combat duty to join the anti-war movement, said the lack of a draft "has greatly affected the level of activism and the intensity" of today's protest campaign.

"Right now, it's not changing a lot of minds," he said in a telephone interview Tuesday. But the anti-war movement is "putting some pressure on people as they run for public office. It will help change the makeup of Congress it already has."
