Abstract
This paper examines the radical anti-Vietnam war, social justice movement, The Weather Underground. The movement is described in terms of its own history and the political climate of the times. The movement's ideology is described, as well as some of their activities. Finally, the paper concludes with the legacy of the movement and where its leaders are today.

From the Paper
"Of all the groups that evolved from the SDS, the Weather Underground was the most notorious. This was due to the fact that even early in the history of the organization there were violent clashes with the police and authorities. An infamous example of the organizations penchant for violence protest was the "Four Days of rage". This refers to the violence in Chicago perpetrated by the Weathermen in 1969. Violence during this period included the destruction of property and buildings and attacks on the police. During these four days a total of seventy-three policemen were injured and about three hundred members of the organization arrested - some of them on charges of attempted murder. (George & Wilcox, 1996, p. 135)"

Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of the movement against the Iraq War as it has manifested itself in the U.S. since 2003, paying attention to one media savvy organizing group that is rarely noted in mainstream media coverage. The paper explains that since the invasion of Iraq in March of 2003, a domestic anti-war movement has sprouted; the origins of various anti-war movements go back in history quite far and such movements are, of course, international in scope and motivated by many different underlying causes.

From the Paper
"Since the invasion of Iraq in March of 2003, a domestic anti-war movement has sprouted and come to attain fairly large presence in the media due to regularly scheduled marches and demonstrations, and a remarkably organized and systematic media and publicity strategy. The origins of various anti-war movements go back in history quite far and such movements are, of course, international in scope and motivated by many different underlying causes, but due to space considerations this paper will limit itself to a brief overview of the movement against the Iraq War as it has manifested itself in the U.S. since 2003, paying particular attention to one media ..."

Abstract
This paper describes the beginnings, the leaders and the motivations behind the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s. The paper also takes a look at how much the anti-war movement actually affected U.S. action in the Vietnam War and what lessons were learned from the protest.

From the Paper
"The beginning of the Anti-War Movement can be found in the Free Speech Movement that had already taken hold at universities across the nation. At Berkeley, Mario Savio, having taught lessons on freedom in McComb, Mississippi in what was to become known as Freedom Summer, began the movement. Involved in the Civil Rights Movement, Savio saw a correlation of the oppression of blacks in the South, the war in Vietnam, and free dissemination of information on university campuses. Savio believed that students were entitled, under the First Amendment, to practice Free Speech on their campuses."

Abstract
The paper provides a brief overview of the movement against the Iraq War as it has manifested itself in the U.S. since 2003. The paper looks at mainstream media coverage of public rallies, focusing on a report in the Los Angeles Times and a report from Reuters. The paper discusses the ANSWER media savvy organizing group that is rarely noted in mainstream media coverage of public rallies but which has a large role in sponsoring them. The paper thus shows how a mainstream news source omits small pieces of information that can have a significant effect on the interpretation of the news story.

From the Paper
"The first protests against the Iraq War actually began just prior to the onset of the war itself, at a time when it was becoming clear that the military preparations and intensified propaganda leading up to the invasion had passed a point of no return. In March of 2003, mass protests in both the United States and Britain, denominated the "World Says No to War" protests, attracted approximately 500,000 marchers nationwide. Since then the movement has had its ups and downs, but generally been able to sponsor large turnouts near the anniversary dates of the invasion (March of each year.) Many have commentated that this level of organization and turnout is remarkable given the lack of a military draft, which in past times (notably the Vietnam war) has substantially enlivened anti-war movements (Garfinkle.)"

Abstract
Analysis of 3 works on the horrors of war. Bao Ninh's novel THE SORROW OF WAR, Michael Cimino's film THE DEER HUNTER, and Nguyen thi Minh Hgoc's short story THE MADAGASCAR PLUM. Vietnam war setting. Muteness of characters as a human response to the war. Common message of each work.

From the Paper
"All three of the works--Bao Ninh's novel The Sorrow of War, the Michael Cimino-directed film The Deer Hunter, and Nguyen thi Minh Hgoc's short story "The Madagascar Plum"--send powerful anti-war messages in which muteness in characters is used to convey the horror of war. In other words, that horror is so overwhelming that the characters who are most deeply affected by it are rendered incapable of even expressing themselves, their suffering, their rage, their helplessness, and any thought of emotion. They are, in a sense, completely deadened by the war, if we see self-expression as a requisite of true human existence, although they remain alive. The muteness of the three characters in the three works is also a kind of denial of what has happened to them. The little girl in Hgoc's story, for example, seems to be stuck in the past in her bombed village, returning to it to ..."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer argues that the US should not attack Iran. The writer makes this argument by first summarizing the U.S. involvement in the Iraq war, which the writer also opposes. The writer then discusses the just war theory and looks at how, if this theory is applied, the US was wrong in attacking Iraq and would be wrong if it were to attack Iran. The writer concludes that an Iranian war will not be a good idea considering the human and financial cost, anti-war climate prevailing in Muslim world, and the complex history of Middle East. The United States should learn from its experience in the Iraq war in which the cost outweighs the benefits.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In the Iraq war, the US defied the international humanitarian law. In responding to some of the most egregious violations of humanitarian law, the US administration and military authorities have focused on those who are sometimes termed "a few bad apples." it is argued, however, that the choices made at more senior levels than the ranks of individual soldiers have created the context in which regular abuses of civilians in occupied Iraq are occurring. It is also argued that the failure to adequately rebuild the civilian and social infrastructure."

Abstract
A textual analysis of the book "Dispatches" by Michael Herr that focuses on the book's descriptions of the war and argues that it is one of the strongest anti-war books ever published.

From the Paper
"Michael Herr's masterpiece "Dispatches" presents a subversive and incisive attack on the Vietnam War. Herr takes the reader on a kaleidoscopic journey into the war's grimy, putrescent depths, and into the day to day existence of the young soldiers who had been pressed into service. What emerges from this literary tour de force is a relentless condemnation of the Vietnam War of the United States Military and of the politicians who so cavalierly sent thousands of young men to their deaths. This paper will first provide a brief..."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of Joseph Heller's anti-war novel, "Catch-22". It begins with a look at the character of the anti-hero Yossarian. Characters are looked at in relation to the novel's themes of power and greed, as well as profit. The use of satire is examined. The paper concludes with the writer's view of what Heller was trying to say in his novel.

From the Paper
"Catch-22 is a novel that entirely takes place at war. Even though the book is filled with comedy, it describes the physical and emotional pain of war. The novel shows us how people are changed by war and how their focuses are changed through different experiences. Catch " 22 breaks the rules of a standard anti " war novel, which shocks this statement into the reader. Through different and sudden time changes, the reader is almost tricked to laugh at certain situations that later are revealed to be quite serious and emotional. The reader doesn't realize what they are laughing at until the novel is completed and Heller's true vision is revealed. Catch " 22 is an "alternative, requiring not only a high order of poetic vision but also a willingness to shock, to challenge, to spit in your audience's eye, is what goes currently under the label of the Absurd. This encompasses farce, gibberish, surrealism and even that sub-branch of show-business called "sick humor"." There are many themes in the novel, which frame the anti-war theme. Greed for power and money and the corruption of soldiers in the novel all tell us how evil war really is. Heller uses satire in order to get the point across from a rather comedic standpoint."
