<<However many in the environmental movement believe they are doing things for the right reason.>>

The Nazis were pretty much unanimous in that respect-right to their (and many others) last drop of blood.

The enviro-whackos differ only in that they aren't selective. ALL humans are a danger to their utopia...

Ron, the spotted frog is an important issue. But many years back human who wanted freedom were being extinquished. Ron you talk of what leaders may or may not have thought. I always try judge history on what individuals chose to do. I always believe in the inherent goodness of people and even leaders. So as I said.

I know many did with honesty and courage and nobility do what they believed to be right. Some going to the war and some protesting the war. Many others did what the did in cowardice. Some using the war and others avoiding or protesting the war.

The Vietnam war was about principles and life and death of our fellow men.

Environmental activism is about in many cases idiot science based on retards understanding attempting to stupidly spend billions on programs that will have no positive effect and are just as likely to create more problems as the money wasted was wasted and could have done some good. I have no doubt that retards believe that they are doing the right thing. But I understand the science and I know they are mostly full of shit.

But Vietnam is a far more complex set of moral questions.
