Attacks with sophisticated weapons on unsophisticated and illiterate Asians are building a vast reservoir of antiAmericanism and misunderstanding of our country among the masses of the people in Asia. A military surrender to the United States will never produce acceptance of American presence In Asia by most Asians. It would be a legacy of ill will which we should not leave to future generations of Americans. Until Asiatics show more interest in defending themselves. then unilateral American involvement in Asia is doomed to failure. The ugly reality is that for the most part It is American GIs who are fighting and dying in Vietnam for the alleged defense of freedom in Asia. Do we Americans have a mandate from Almighty God to police the entire world?
