Please note the number of media pundits and other who are predicting that regardless of what happens in Iraq the U.S. will not give up its military bases there. To eliminate those bases we will need a worldwide mass campaign of considerably greater magnitude than we ever achieved in the ’60s. We might be able to defeat the DP incumbent in 2112 on the basis of his/her failure to close the bases; how much difference that will make I do not know, and by 2116 I figure to be gone.

I don’t remember, but were there a bunch of cranky old fucks in the early 1970s who said the US would never withdraw from Vietnam?
