May 4, 2011 marks the thirty-first anniversary of the murders of four students by the National Guard at Kent State University in the United States. These murders by the state's armed forces, which were followed by the police murders of six black men during an uprising in Augusta, Georgia and two more students (also black) at Jackson State in Mississippi, proved to be a turning point in the prosecution of the US war on the Vietnamese. In short, the desire to continually expand that war was no longer the consensus among those who plan such things in Washington. The war itself would continue for five more years, but Washington's belief in its ability to win had been broken.
