Vietnam war protester Jane Fonda is on the protesting trail again. This time it’s about the war in Iraq. Read the story titled “Tens of thousands demand U.S. get out of Iraq” here.
While Ms. Fonda protests the war in front of the U.S. Capitol building, fellow Vietnam war protester Sen. John Kerry decided to protest the Iraq war inside the Capital rather than run for President again.
Kerry on the Iraq war “I wanted to focus on this issue with a clarity and as much of my energy as I can.”

It’s questionable if left leaning “baby boomers” can ever get past the ghosts of Vietnam.
