this is an excellent article on the war crimes that our government committed in vietnam and the lasting effects on the nation's soul.

yes, i took a doc film class this summer and witnessed the liberators and freedom fighters kicking defenseless villagers in the head with combat boots and gun butts. saw our guys torch huts with silently weeping women watching their lives go up in smoke. saw an american throw out a bushel of rice on the ground knowing that the women would likely starve.
i agree with what the author of this story that we need to own up in order to move forward.
personally i don't give a shit about either man's war record. i would have used dad's money to fly planes or ran to canada without regret. it is a red herring....good strategy on the part of the rnc. if the democrats were half as smart they would have never brought it up in the first place. another botched election, maybe after an eight year hiatus they can run a decent campaign? i won't be holding my breath in '08, trust me.
and i hope that when i am fifty years old i won't be called on all the shit i pulled in my twenties. i might as well give up now if that is the case.

sorry i won't be at the shindig tonight, how about giving maybe two hours notice next time?
