I was happy when, as a youngster, I read in a book about Brooke-Popham sweeping the streets. I am still happy and will be happy about it, till I die. I was angry about the My Lai pictures when I saw them. I am still angry about them and will be angry about them till my death. You see the Asiatic's history memories are still fresh.
Sometimes people under stress do very bad things that normally they
would not do. There were many bad things done in the Vietnam war
on both sides. The USA tries to prevent these type incidents as much
as possible and when something like this happens all the world will hear
about it. What the North Vietnamese did, however, is not well known.
Unlike many other cultures, we try to uncover the evil deeds done by
our citizens in an attempt to prevent future incidents. It would be nice
if we could always negotiate peaceful settlements so we could prevent
war, but that appears to be an impossibility.
