This ius a neat slight of hand perhaps, but to call for the American withdrawl
from Vietnam is to call for a Vietnamese victory- just as it would be to call
for the defeat of Chiang Kai-Shek remnants in a battle with the mainland is to
call for a Victory for the People's Republic- etc. etc.

To state that Galtieri wasn't worth supporting is to unworthily make he the
issue. This is precisely the box that the Thatcherites wanted you in the UK to
fall inside of. But to call for the return (by any means) of indigenous
Argentine lands to the Argentine state is basic Lenin.
