Should Bush apologise for killing 3.5 millions Vietnamese while he is in Vietnam now ?

MindSweep

Yes.

Bush did not do anything himself as observed. But Bush represents a nation. A nation that touts itself as the champion of human rights. A nation that claims to promote freedom , free will, and good ness through out the universe.

Though a bit far fetched, I would point similar incidend that happend way back in the history , and recently the british goverments have refused to apologize for that incident , even though the govt's own inquiry reached the conclusion that it was a British Genral who was at fault.

First of all, I am NOT a fan of G.W. but he had nothing to do with that war. He shouldn't apologize for something he wasn't a part of. He should however apologize to the Iraqi civilian population and the American public for laying out false reasons for the Iraq war.

Our soldiers were not allowed to shoot unless they were fired upon. There were about 58,000 American casualties during the war and thousands who committed suicide afterwards due to severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This is not counting those who have survived PTSD and physical impairments that suffered for the rest of their lives.

There are the horror stories of Vietnamese strapping grenades to children to go out to meet the soldiers who came into their towns. Massacres? Many of our soldiers were massacred by this means and by snipers.

How dare you say we should apologize?

What part of "Hell No" don't you understand. Did Putin apologize for killing 60 million russian citizens during Stalin's reign of terror?

No, he should remind them how lucky they were the Soviets had ships in Hanoi harbor all the time or we might have nuked their butts into oblivion.

Blimey that's accurate shooting for someone who missed the war completely!!

NO NO NO NO and NO. A country does not say sorry for going to war and for the casualties.

Yes America should apologise for the War in Vietnam. It should apologise to itself. Its government and military should apologise for taking its citizens and sending them into a war zone where they made exactly the same mistakes costing lives that the French had made ten years earlier. America learned nothing. As usual.

Doesnt history repeat itself so well?

lundstroms2004

No.

BTW, the study of Agent Orange has been proven bogus as a sceintifically valid study. Please know your facts and history before you demonize America.

The My Lai massacre is bad, but hardly worse than having napalm peel your skin off with liquid fire while you writhe in agony. I vote for napalm being the worst weapon. However, napalm was used to target forests, not villages. Anyone caught in the forest when we bombed is collatoral damage....much like the fire bombings of Kyoto and Tokyo in ww2.

The US killed 3.5 million Vietnamese.. did you pull that number out of your head... there were more countries in the war than just the US... Learn about the Vietnam war before you start talking trash about anybody, when you obviously are not educated about the subject.. I don't like Bush all that much... your statistics are wrong... Surely My Lai massacre was horrible... and it was unfortunate it happened- you can't control the mental state of every solider in battle... war had taken their toll on them, they were all young and it's sad- The war made a lot of people crazy

Boring Old Fart

Interesting question. Vietnam cannot in this case be blamed on Bush... (shame ... he gets the blame along with Blair for most things these days) and therefore, why is it necessary for him to apologise? Conversely, will the Vietnam government apologise for the numerous French, other nations and American killed by the North Vietnamese Communist that started the original Vietnam war? My Lai was a massacre, However, the Vietcong were responsible for far more massacres of their own nations people in the name of Communism. And No, I'm not an American and certainly not a Bush fan, but perspective here please.

Wow, you Bush haters
have no boundary's!

Just stop it. The individuals involved in the Mi Lai incident were punished shortly after it happened. Your hatred for this one icon is making you blind and appear foolish. Bush is no better, no worse, no more corrupt than any other President or politician, they are all thieving liars, you delude yourself into thinking that YOUR particular candidate is going to somehow save you. They are not interested in your situation unless you can do something to further their needs and wants. Want to make a difference? Campaign for a viable 3rd party.

No.

Studbolt Slickrock

Bush doesn't know anything about that.

clyde w

hell no

Dboy

Exactly how did he do that? Perhaps the Vietnamese would like to apologize to us for all of their war crimes.

You really need to get both sides of a story before going off half-******.

ksmpmjoll

Sure - as soon as Vietnam returns all the POW/MIA's

birdsnakecatharine

Ho. Ho. Ho.
You'd starve without the USA, little American Hater.
You can't even vote in your own country.

Dry Dreamer

Absolutely not

kapute2

and just how did Bush do that?

Alex B. Ph.D.

Bush was not president during the Vietnam war

only p

How many Americans died in Vietnam. Maybe they should apologize to us.

clsga

Yes, I mean it was his fault. Wait I thought the democrats said he never went to war...oh heck make him apologize, I'm sure he was responsible for it anyway.

I scratched my truck the other day, I think I'll sue Bush.

mcfifi

God, you Yanks really are as thick as sh*t.

Of course the asker knows Bush wasn't PERSONALLY responsible for Vietnam.

The question is should he apologise on behalf of the American people for the atrocities committed in their name.

And of course he should.

And of course you lot, who seem to make a habit of going into other people's countries for no good reason, and killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the process, are too dumb to see it.

Shame on you all.
