The article presents information on the social conditions that is lead as a result of war. People are fleeing, as they had for decades, from the unfulfilled pledge that they are one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. The hopeless despair of the millions, the Third World poverty in the heart of the cities, the resulting tidal wave of crime this social rot at very heart has become as dangerous as any nuclear waste dump. The war in Vietnam and its outcome have, over a period of time, been reduced to one simple lesson. It was too long. The implicit assumption is that the lives lost, the napalm, the burning children.
