Yet no one suggests these as a reason for armed intervention. for a bombing policy that forces American military men to spread far more devastation than the most sadistic bully. The real question we must ask is: Does our action decrease the possibility of atrocities. or. on the contrary. does the suffering and bitterness we cause increase the possibility of revenge and cruelty? The people who are forced to rely on this sort of argument are especially fond of the streams of refugees leaving the North Vietnamese zone. This tragedy seems to make them proud. seems to them to prove that somehow the Vietnamese people are choosing us over the North Vietnamese. And yet the explicit aim of our bombing policy is to force these people out of their homes.
