Those were Herculean world historic tasks and victories.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who asked me a single question about what the anti-Vietnam War movement was like.

The only thing your generation, people on the left who call themselves on the left, I don't believe they are in most cases,

But the only thing they like is the Black Panthers because it's so telegenic, you know, the beret, the shoes, the leather coats, you know, it's all theater.

But the concrete work of transforming our society in significant ways with the civil rights movement, you know, the people in SNCC who most, your listeners, I suppose,

I don't want to be too presumptuous.

People like Bob Moses.

I mean, these people were really very impressive figures.

Nobody knows.

So in this historical vacuum, it's not surprising that these theories would come in.

Anybody who lived through the Iraq War, which they said, okay, it's not yesterday, but it's 23 years ago.

It's just everything old is new again.

Every phrase, regime change, mad mullahs, cakewalk.

I was rereading a chapter I wrote in the book on the subject, and I was struck.

How is it all the same?

I should say there were conspiracy theories that it was Israel that dragged us into the Iraq War in 2003, but I don't believe there's any evidence for that.

And I've read everything there is in the subject.

I really have.

There's no evidence for it.

I won't run through it now.
