Speaking the truth isn't preaching. All I have said here is true, and "the facts" cannot be challenged. The US slaughtered 3 million Vietnamese innocents...600,000 Cambodian innocents.

If stating that fact on the 30th anniversary of the fall of Saigon is self-righteous preaching, then I'm proud to be guilty of it.

The US is currently doing exactly the same thing to the Iraqis it did to the Vietnamese and Cambodians. Those who insist upon denying history are already repeating it. You want to defend the slaughter of innocents by the US, go right ahead...

War
Dougie MacLean

Our voice made silent
our hands made still
but deep and violent wait the ones who
wait to kill
the desert's burning, their reasons pale
for there's no returning
with some golden holy grail

What have they done?
what have they done?
the blood will run to everyone
oh, what have they done?

Is it for freedom? or is it for truth
that father's fall and all those young
men trade their youth?
or are they moved by deception's hand
that rank and reckless scatters death
across the sand

What have they done?
what have they done?
the blood will run to everyone
oh, what have they done?

Is it for freedom? or is it for truth
that fathers fall and all those young
men trade their youth?
and the desert's burning, their faces pale
for there's no returning
with some golden holy grail
