Many people who fought in World War II (such as George McGovern) were opposed to U.S. 
intervention in what they saw as a civil war in Vietnam.  Similarly, many who opposed the war in 
Vietnam see the present conflict as a different matter.  U.S. territory was attacked this time, 
deliberately and directly.  

Even if that weren't so, it isn't necessarily hypocrisy for someone to see things differently now 
than they did 30 years ago.  Do your opinions never change?
