HI Jackie,
I think society needs to learn from our mistakes of the past. For
example, Lt. William Calley was looked at as a hero by many people after
the My Lai massacre. Why? Because the people he murdered were Vietnamese
and people found it easier to consider all Vietnamese as a likely enemy
even though we were supposedly over there to help the South Vietnamese.
And the real hero, the guy in the helicopter who stopped the killings was
investigated as a traitor. Now, at long last, he's being given the
recognition as a hero that he deserves. We need to encourage everyone to
become more skilled at critical thinking and not to judge actions based
on who is involved on the various sides of that action.
Bill
