Nah...2 million North Vietnamese civilians died of influenza...not American bombs falling on their cities.

The number of North Vietnamese civilian deaths during that period is uncertain, and not all of them died from American weapons (disease and other natural causes didn't go away just because there was a war). I think the figure of two million North Vietnamese civilians killed by American is to high.

Of course if you commit a crime against 500,000, or 1 for that matter its still a crime, but civilian death doesn't equal war crime either. Mai Lai was a war crime but it was exceptional not routine.
