Letter: America needs dose of war protesting

During the Vietnam War, college students marched and demonstrated en masse against that war. Some gave their lives to stop the senseless killing.

Where in God's name are the college students in this endless war in Iraq? I understand that binge drinking and pot smoking takes up much of their free time. I hope the day will come soon when protesting against the murder of young service people will once again be in style for our higher learning party animals.

For the rest of the population, I guess sitting on one's hands accomplishes something. Let's all hope in 2008 this slaughter in Iraq will come to an end. On New Year's Eve on Times Square they have a countdown until midnight. Why not have a big clock there counting down the hours until President Bush and Dick Halliburton Cheney leave office?
