2. Manifesto of the South Vietnam National Front for Liberation (NLF), 1968. Over the past hundred years the Vietnamese people repeatedly rose up to fight against foreign aggression for the independence and freedom of their fatherland. In 1945, the people throughout the country surged up in an armed uprising, overthrew the Japanese and French domination, and seized power. . . . However, the American imperialists, who had in the past helped the French colonialists to massacre our people, have now replaced the French in enslaving the southern part of our country through a disguised colo- nial regime. They have been using their stooge — the Ngo Dinh Diem administration — in their downright repression and exploitation of our compatriots, in their maneuvers to permanently divide our country and to turn its southern part into a base in preparation for war in Southeast Asia.5. Students for a Democratic Society, Call for a March on Washington to End the War, 1965. The current war in Vietnam is being waged on behalf of a succession of unpopular South Vietnamese dictator- ships, not in behalf of freedom. No American-supported South Vietnamese regime in the past few years has gained the support of its people, for the simple reason that the people overwhelmingly want peace, self-determination, and the opportunity for development. American pros- ecution of the war has deprived them of all three. The war is fundamentally a civil war. . . . It is a losing war. . . . It is a self-defeating war. . . . It is a dangerous war. . . . It is a war never declared by Congress. . . . It is a hideously immoral war. Compare sources 2 and 5. What is the intended audience of each? What common features do they share?
