22、aimed their own independence *in 1954* - in 1945 *rather* - after a combined french and japanese occupation and before the communist revolution in china. they were led by ho chi minh. even though they quoted the american declaration of independence in their own document of freedom, we refused to rec
23、ognize them. instead, we decided to support france in its reconquest of her former colony. our government felt then that the vietnamese people were not ready for independence, and we again fell victim to the deadly western arrogance that has poisoned the international atmosphere for so long. with th
24、at tragic decision we rejected a revolutionary government seeking self-determination and a government that had been established not by china - for whom the vietnamese have no great love - but by clearly indigenous forces that included some communists. for the peasants this new government meant real

38、 well wonder if we plan to build our new vietnam on such grounds as these. could we blame them for such thoughts? we must speak for them and raise the questions they cannot raise. these, too, are our brothers.perhaps a more difficult but no less necessary task is to speak for those who have been des

40、group in the south? what do they think of our condoning the violence which led to their own taking up of arms? how can they believe in our integrity when now we speak of aggression from the north as if there were nothing more essential to the war? how can they trust us when now we charge them with v

43、 aware of their control of major sections of vietnam, and yet we appear ready to allow national elections in which this highly organized political parallel government will not have a part? they ask how we can speak of free elections when the saigon press is censored and controlled by the military ju
