There is healing. There is the need to educate the younger generations. There is also a great need to give te Vietnamese point of view on what they name as The American War ( the war they won after having to defeat The Japanese in World War II, and the French afterwards capped by the siege at Dienbenphu in 1954 (when the United States was financing Frances war by 80%).
But what cannot be forgiven is the leadership of the American government, Republician and Democrat, from 1954 til now. Just about every single President and Congress, with very few exceptions, lied to the American people, and from 1965 until 1975 participated in the deaths of 50,000 GIS and one million Vietnamese in a conspiracy to commit murder and mayhem. These killers were never brought to trial. I do not see how they can be forgiven.

Very nice post. I want to see the Sapphires. Maybe tomorrow. One of my fellow soccer parents is a Vietnam vet. We let him know about the reading, but he couldn’t make it. He told us today that a friend of his (also a vet) has read Called to Serve several times and found it very moving, so he is going to borrow it from him. I think your reminder that healing is at the center of this project is incredibly important. It is almost as if we were all forced through a civil war (our own) because of the war and how it divided our generation. We are only now beginning to be able to acknowledge the pain and suffering that many of us went through, whether we were in combat in Vietnam or altering our lives and working against the war here. Your book and Peter’s play open a bridge to heal that divide.

Thank you, Tom, for posting this, And reminding us yet again of the travesty of justice that this Presidential library represents. Not to mention how quickly even the “liberal” news media forgets. History will indeed be the judge, and history cannot judge Bush and his cronies severely enough.

Yes, travesty is an understatement, but to be bluntly honest, the responsibility for this travesty goes way beyond The Bushes, Cheney, Rove, etc. In 2004, Bush was re-elected by a majority of the American people-apparently in an honest election, that time. The lies about Iraq had already been publicized. The Americans who re-elected him knew about the lies and the shamelessness and, yet, they re-elected him. The media, corporations, and plain old American citizens are complicit. Is it any surprise that they would support this opportunity to revise their own history and their own complicity in war crimes?

This blog does a good job of keeping the light of honesty burning. Keep up the good work, Diogenes.

Tom – thank you for setting the record straight. I do hope that history will have the opportunity to judge. The fawning and “objective” coverage only mirrors the soft, docile, unquestioning treatment given by the press to Bush, Cheney et al during the lead up to war.

Excellent commentary on the absurd, tragic and monumental farce. There’s only one thing George W. Bush said, that will prove to be true: ” Ultimately history will judge”.
