What point is that? That Dissent has a long and dishonorable history in cheering on imperial war? That its Vietnam "expert" was a CIA guy who wrote the South Vietnamese constitution? That Irving Howe disliked the antiwar movement because it was full of hippies & Commies? That Jo-Ann Mort welcomes the militarization of Europe? That Michael Walzer called the Korean War a just war? There's a lot about that magazine & its culture that's deeply repellent.
