I use a song called "History Repeating" as the theme music for my radio show. It constantly amazes me how often the song fits the topics we discuss.
This weekend, a group of Vietnam War protestors who were known as The Resistance will reunited in Santa Monica California.
Tonight, I'll speak with Bob Zaugh, one of the organizers of the event, who himself was a member of The Resistance.
They've invited one Vietnam veteran to speak at the event as well -- Ron Kovic.
Most of us know of Ron Kovic through the book he wrote about his experiences, both during and after the war: Born On the Fourth of July. The book was turned into a major motion picture directed by Oliver Stone, and starring Tom Cruise as Ron Kovic.
I hope you'll join us for a very special hour tonight as I speak with Ron Kovic about the Vietnam war, his experiences and the parallels with Afghanistan.
We'll also look at tomorrow's International Day of Climate Change Action with Bill McKibben, the co-founder of www.350.org.

I agree that we should pull completely out of Afganistan ASAP. Our continued war and occupation is only going to become another Vietnam.
