Think of dean rusks recent claim that the effect of antivietnam war demonstrations in the states may actually be to prolong the war rather than to shorten it . Senator Robert Kennedy the war is going on in vietnam, being extended in vietnam, really because of the determination of those who are our adversaries, the North Vietnamese, the vietcong, National Liberation front. I dont think a particular action takes place a military action takes place in South Vietnam because of the protests here in the United States. I think that if all the protests were ended, and even if all of the objections to the war came to an end here in this country, that the war in vietnam would continue. Im sure to some extent the fact that there are some protests gives some encouragement to ho chi minh and to others.

But i dont i certainly dont think that thats the reason the war is ontinuing, and why the casualties are going up. Governor reagan well, i definitely think the demonstrations are prolonging casualties are going up. The war in that theyre giving the enemy, who i believe must face defeat on relative comparison of the power of the two nations, they are giving him encouragement to continue, to hold out in the hope that division here in america will bring about a peace without defeat for that enemy. Many of the demonstrations now taking place in this country could not legally take place if there was a legal declaration of war, so e, i think, are faced with a choice here.
