...real immorality of the war in Viet Nam is that good men-most of whom have never had the advantage of a higher education-are making countless sacrifices to protect the rights of the pseudo intellectuals at Iowa and Wisconsin, most of whom have probably never served, and probably never will serve, this country in a military capacity.

For at its basis lies the sovereign right, defended by Americans of all decades of self-protection. It was perhaps best'expressed by a great Secretary of State, Elihu Root, who wrote in 1914: "it is well understood that the exercise' of the right of self-protection may, and frequently does, extend in its effect beyond the limits of the territorial jurisdiction the state exercising it ...
