They would recall that a minimum of a half million people are believed to have died in slave labor camps in North Vietnam during the reign of the hippie folk hero. Ho Chi Minh. They might see that there have been over 45.000 civilian casualties in South Vietnam. since the barbaric invasion of that country by North Vietnam on Easter weekend. as a result of the deliberate shelling of cities and the slaughter of refugees by the North Vietnamese in wanton disregard of human life. And then they might ask themselves the fundamental question of how wise and how moral and how in keeping with the best American traditions it would be to expose the 17 million people of South Vietnam completely to the mercy of the Communists and their policy of deliberate murder and assassination of civilians. And I can hear now this suggestion being answered by people saying. "Well. we bombed the dikes." So we bombed the dikes.
