College campus protests

You are comparing apples to oranges. Protests for Vietnam and black people sat at lunch counters cannot and should not be compared to the current hostilities in the middle east. In the former 2 examples you are talking about things which were fully controlled within YOUR own government. The Palestine / Israel conflict is beyond your control - by all means, have peaceful protests but otherwise keep out! Concentrate on the HORRENDOUS domestic issues which just confirm how the world sees America as the young, immature democracy that you are!!
