Reply #5: NEVER has this country (in 63 years I know of anyway)been so divided ???

I'm wondering how this compares to the Vietnam years, either early stages or latter stages. I was just a little boy then, so can't really remember. I would say that, right now, it feels like there's a low-grade civil war going on here; the Manichean rhetoric of "With us or with the terrorists (freedeom fighters)" may inevitably produce that type of result.
