Or do we have that authority to kill tens and tens of thousands of people because we say we have a commitment to the South Vietnamese people? But have they been consultedin Hue. in Bin Tre. or in the other towns that have been destroyed? Do we have the authority to put hundreds of thousands of peoplein fact. millions of peopleinto refugee camps for their protectionor should these decisions be left to them? As to our own interests in Vietnam. could not the Germans or the Russians have argued the same thing before the beginning of World War 1that they had the right to go into Poland. into Estonia. into Latvia. into Lithuania. because they needed them for their own protection. that they needed them as a buffer? I question whether we have that right in this country.
