Times of Change - A Dubious Crusade

1. Look up both words in the title of the short essay. What do they mean?
Dubious: (Adjective) - doubtful
Crusade: (Noun) - Any vigorous, aggressive movement for the defense or advancement of an idea, cause, etc.

2. Relate the title to the reading. What is Warren saying? How do you think this will relate to the rest of our study if Vietnam?
Warren is saying that the US entering the war (crusading) is doubtful (dubious) because the American Public did not support these actions. Due to this, the American Public no longer trusted its government. I think that our study of Vietnam will deal a lot with whether the US should or shouldn't have taken certain steps in the war.
