“The authorities at Kent State did not shed too many tears when Dave Airhart was dispatched to fight wars of aggression, in which thousands have been tortured, killed, and maimed, in the lands of Iraq, Afghanistan, and on Guantanamo Bay. When Airhart found the courage to speak up and protest against these abominations on an American college campus, however, these same authorities decided to try and punish him for – what else? – being a threat to himself and a threat to others. Where was their most pious concern during the four years for which Mr. Airhart was placed in danger and was tasked with bringing danger and destruction to others? This is a question the shameless administration at Kent State has yet to answer, even as they continue to allow military recruiters – those salesmen of death – to invite harm and violence upon Bush’s next unwarranted targets.”
