The cold. hard. and cruel irony of it all is that we are destroying our allies in order to save them. Weve done more damage to our allies than our enemies. We have hit South Vietnam with twenty times more munitions than we have spent in North Vietnam. Our bombing is largely responsible for making refugees of six million South Vietnameseone third of the population. In Cambodia. onethird of the population has also become refugees. And one Laotian in four has been bombed out of his home. How much destruction and how many casualties must we and the Indochinese suffer before we have sufficient proof that this is a mistaken enterprise?
