this statement is definitely not true Hitchens was very much an "anti-war" type in the 60s, but not a crazy. I thought you might get even more agitated about it. :>) If you consider the period when we were involved, I doubt if what was going on then would have risen to a point where the world would have called it "genocide," as they certainly could about Saddam's treatment of the Kurds. The nice part about that Hitchens's article is that he is in a great position to take apart the difference between the anti-war crowd during Vietnam and now. The Vietnamese have and continue to jail, and slaughter Montagnard tribesmen in the central highlands. I get the feeling that the Vietnamese, north or south, have a hatred for the Montagnard going back centuries. They consider them primitives who should be wiped out.
