I regret that I didn't do enough to help end the Vietnam war earlier.

What do you have in mind.

A few well-placed bombs in post offices and recruiting stations? Or, are you thinking more public places like supermarkets?

Tell us how you approve of the terrorist tactics employed by Obama's good friends. You think it is okay to detonate bombs because you're pissed at the government?

Would you have liked a big bomb to wipe out a bunch of soldiers at Ft Dix? Thats what his group had planned.

Shortly before noon on Friday, March 6, 1970, people in the townhouse were assembling anti-personnel weapons armed with roofing nails and packed with dynamite. Their plan was to set them off that evening at a dance for noncommissioned officers at the Fort Dix, New Jersey Army base, according to a narrative published decades later by one of their comrades.[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich_Village_townhouse_explosion

And yes, he was working with this group. And he's admitted the bomb was intended for Ft Dix in a book he wrote. His girlfriend at the time was Diana Oughten who was killed in the blast. He later married fellow Weather Underground member, Bernadine Dohrn.

Here's another "antiwar" activity of the Weather Undergounds:

Two police officers and a Brinks guard were killed.

BTW they weren't against the war, they were fighting for the other side.

We are building a communist organization to be part of the forces which build a revolutionary communist party to lead the working class to seize power and build socialism. [...] We must further the study of Marxism-Leninism within the WUO [Weather Underground Organization]. The struggle for Marxism-Leninism is the most significant development in our recent history. [...] We discovered thru [sic] our own experiences what revolutionaries all over the world have found — that Marxism-Leninism is the science of revolution, the revolutionary ideology of the working class, our guide to the struggle [...]"
