"Cambodian statesman Sirak Mitak penned a final note to the U.S. ambassador refusing his offer of evacuation.
"I cannot, alas, leave in such a cowardly fashion. As for you and in particular for your great country, I never believed for a moment that you would have this sentiment of abandoning a people which has chosen liberty....You leave and my wish is that you and your country will find happiness under the sky.
"But mark it well that, if I shall die here on the spot and in my country that I love, it is too bad because we all are born and must die one day. I have only committed this mistake in believing in you, the Americans." (He was executed shortly after by the vietnamese)"
I post this in light of Mr Bush's recent visit too Baghdad. According to the report's i have read from iraq, so far. Many of the iraqi's are starting too think about taking us seriously! Should they be wrong in doing so?
It's been a year or so ago since i last asked. I shudder at asking this question, yet again. But, has anyone changed their opinion and think we should turn tail and run from iraq?
I know it sounds ridiculous too even ask, but after what we had done too the south vietnamese back in the 70's... i'm not so sure anymore that the american public is really that well informed about iraq or of the potential consequences of leaving a job half done! |
