...prospect of "victory" in Viet Nam [Sept. 22] fills me with dread. It would mean a continuation of the absurd philosophy that war can end war, a victory for militarists who would bring peace to mankind by killing him, and a further retreat into our paranoid delusion that we can spread brotherhood and love by filling the world with soldiers and guns...
