What was at stake in our generation was to move away from war, especially wars that are not necessary and which do nothing but cause trouble. What was at stake was that we could be a people who could turn a nation around when it did the wrong thing, as was done for the first time in Vietnam and was the beginning of a world without war. The results we see today are the result of the failure to stop Bush and the failure of the people to vote against him, betraying the new values of our new revolution of peace.
