Sounds like a cop-out to me. In Vietnam (your example) nobody "gave"
anyone the opportunity to make change. There were enough people with the
courage to get off of their duffs to MAKE it happen!

Talk is cheap. The price of action is much greater. But actions are
what shape the world.

It may serve a purpose to "point out problems I see", but there are
already too many umpires. We need more people to actually carry the
damn ball down the field!
