Unfortunately. most Americans are spoiled in many ways. and we especially take our freedoms for granted because We have never known any real loss of freedom and most of us have never been overrun by force and terror. Few of us can understand what the South Vietnamese. the Israelis. and the Palestinians are up against. Few have ever suffered the terror and agony of the refugee- trail. But untii we can appreciate their positions and needs better than they. we should try to respond to what they perceive their needs to be. If they need military aid. we should give them military aid or let them know that we no longer intend to help.
