very different perspective... the "future."
The robberies, the bombing of the Defense Department supported research university targets... this made sense at the time, both strategically and psycholgically.
Don't forget that the assassinations of two Kennedys and Martin Luther King were very fresh and the feeling that some unknown, hidden forces were controlling the country was not uncommon. Add to that the fact that an unjust and illegal war was claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands, if not millions (eventually), of Vietnamese and Cambodians and you have the stuff of revolution.
Yes, so easy now to look back and criticize.
Meanwhile, the political direct descendants of those war mongerers have led us into another killing field, this time in Iraq.
How naive were those guys, anyhow?
