The question above is incomplete, the complete version is given below:
Read this excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk."

I wonder, when I look at the bombed out peasant hamlets, the orphans begging and stealing on the streets of Saigon and the women and children with napalm burns lying on the hospital cots, whether the United States or any nation has the right to inflict this suffering and degradation on another people for its own ends.<span>
