...latecomer to the race, and Democratic elders, already reeling from L.B.J.'s waning popularity and from Eugene McCarthy's antiwar campaign, had urged him not to run. But Robert F. Kennedy proved a formidable sprinter. For 80 days he campaigned relentlessly, and by the day of the California primary, a must-win for Kennedy to seriously challenge Hubert Humphrey, his body was cracking. The night before, he had been too weary to finish a speech in San Diego, and by the time he reached Los Angeles, he appeared to be running on fumes...
...first day of Gulf War II, shock and awe came to San Francisco. Antiwar protesters had long pledged that if bombs fell on Baghdad, they would unite to "stop business as usual" in America's major cities.

Hauerwas' assertion that the 9/11 attacks were not an act of war but acts of murder is similarly woolly. If the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center were not an act of war, I don't know what...
