We voted for freedom and we were killed." I came away from that scene of tragedy and despair. knowing in my bones two things: That the people of East.Pakistan would never again submit to the rule of the West Pakistan Government In Islamabad. and that. as between India and Pakistan. we Americans should have the humility not to pass a hurried judgment on who is right and who Is wrong. Yet. by implication. we have already branded India the aggressor. It comes with ill grace considering the circumstances. How long would we have waited to strike back had a bloody massacre in Mexico led to the influx of 10 million Mexican refugees into southern California. New Mexico. and Arizona? Would we have waited 8 months?
