This war. which I have opposed from its beginning. has dragged on for 10 years and spread into Cambodia and Laos because the American people have never taken a really full. long look at what has been done in their name. In the name of America. the White House and the military have been systematically tearing apart three small countries. In South Vietnam. more than a million civilian casualties and over 4 million refugees. their farms. homes. and rice crops destroyedmostly by us. In Cambodia. tens of thousands of civilian casualties and 11/2 million refugees out of a total population of 6 million. And in tiny Laos. with less than 3 million people. our planes have been bombing awaynot just in the latest fiasco staged by the Thieu government with the full support of the American high commandbut for years. Out of a population of 3 million people in Laos. almost 300.000 are refugees. thousands live in caves in hopes of escaping American bombs. Thousands have been killed. The fact is that President Nixon. and before him President Johnson. have been conducting this war on the strategy laid down by Gen.
