[lbo-talk] NYT poll: Youth support war & Bush more than their elders

[C. G. Estabrook]

It's worth remembering, too -- over against the myth of "college 
radicals" and the Vietnam war -- that in the 1960s support for the US 
government's war against Vietnam was directly (not inversely) 
proportional to years of formal education.  I.e., American education was 
doing its job: the more of it you had, the more likely you were to 
support what Kennedy-Johnson-Nixon were doing to SE Asia.  Mutatis 
mutandis, that's probably even more so today.  --CGE
