Good point, Dewey. Unfortunately, not one that Bush or his cronies &
defenders will ever concede.

While I don't think Iraq is identical to Nam, parallels can certainly
be drawn between the Haditha incident currently under investigation &
the My Lai massacre. My Lai was a major turning point in the way the
Viet Nam War was viewed by Americans & helped turn up the public
pressure to begin extricating ourselves from that quagmire. If the
Haditha incident is found to be another massacre it may well prove to
be a similar point in this war. We can only hope so.

look for colin powell to be called in any day now...
