Vietnam Veterans Against The War Anti-Imperialist
Vietnam Veterans Against the War Anti-Imperialist (VVAWAI) is a small group based in Seattle, Washington claiming to be one of two groups formed after the split of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). VVAW, Inc is the other. The VVAW, Inc web site originally described VVAWAI as "the creation of an obscure, ultra-left sect called the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) ... designed to pimp off of VVAW's history of struggle" and currently uses a modified version of that description omitting reference to the Revolutionary Communist Party. VVAWAI states they have no affiliation with the current VVAW, Inc, but shares the legacy of the original VVAW.

“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
