A Dubious Crusade

Look up both words in the title of the short essay. What do they mean?

Dubious: giving rise to uncertainty, doubtful promise or outcome, unsettled in opinion, doubtful

Crusade: a remedial enterprise undertaken with zeal and enthusiasm


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?

It is saying that people still are uncertain about the outcome of the crusade. He is saying that Americans are unsure about the need for the war. It is still a controversial topic. Many people still find it a waste of human resources.
