This discussion, and any discussion on Vietnam for that matter, is mired in myth and bias. To date, America is unable to cooly analyze this part of its history, which started as a myth, caused unimaginable suffering on all sides, and then -- grotesquely -- perpetuated itself beyond any recognition of objective as well as moral truth. The original Newsweek story and the ensuing "debate" are so transparently inundated with bizarre archetypes that it doesn't matter what anyone says.
