<<Chris, don't you think there is a difference Between cluster bombs and napalm on civilian villages and missiles on a supposed chemical weapons factory>> I think you forget the reality of Vietnam - the soldiers were being shot at by women and children. Our boys were unable to assume anyone was a civilian. The N. Vietnamese did not all wear uniforms. I am not saying we didn't kill innocent people, but I don't agree with your characterization at all. As I remember it, for the most part we only bombed areas that were actively firing on our troops. If the enemy soldier hides in the middle of the village while lobbing artillery or shooting at us, what shoudl we do? Remember, this is what was happening with Iraq during the Gulf War as well, so we need to develop a policy for dealing with it. As to the supposed chemical factory - I am still keeping an open mind on this one. The "evidence" that I had heard about related to soil samples taken from the premisis that contained the chemicals in question. Only time will tell if that is true.
