Arguing about different tactics is essentially irrelevant. The essential thing is that America had no right to intervene in that way in a country on the far side of the world.

The war against the French ended in an agreement that should have meant a united North and South Vietnam, and that was broken, with American encouragement, by the South Vietnamn government. As a result of American intervention millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians and Laotians were killed, and tens of thousands of young Americans. And that's not counting the even greater numbers who had their lives wrecked. And no good whatever came of it.

That's all past history. But the important thing about history is to learn from it, so that you don't make the same mistakes again.

"I do have the right to put this point of view across, no matter how unpopular it is"
