Reply #8: an entire group of people were treated as less than human in 1960 [View All]

and before that. they were being terorrized and killed without justice. lbj helped try to put an end to that and make things more just for all people.

as for vietnam i know it's easier to blame just one person than to try to see things in the context of the times with the cold war and communism being the big enemy and support from many for doing something about it. no question lbj is tainted by that war but he isn't the only one at fault. and he had a conscience which allowed him to see when things were going wrong and he was filled with guilt and hurt. it contributed to his death also.
