Antonio Frasconi on the Vietnam War

Thinking about what's happening in Venezuela right now and the role our government might take on this matter as I paged through prints by Frasconi made in response to the Vietnam War. This one is a selection from "On the Slain Collegians by Herman Melville". 

"It is important to remember that wars look good to many people in the beginning because something terrible has been done, and people feel that something must be done in retaliation. Only later does the thinking and questioning begin."   -Howard Zinn, from Artists In Time of War
