yeah, I visited that too…. It was interesting to see the war from the “other” side…. they didn’t hold back in the exhibitions in terms of what they think about the americans and pictures of the victims of nepalm etc….

The Vietnamese I met in Saigon were pretty cool in their attitude towards Americans “after all -we won” they would say.

True. Unless there is video or photographic evidence american soldiers have diplomatic immunity.

With 50m Americans claiming Irish descent, best we not get too pious of what this movie reveals about Americans rather than just human nature.

There were alot of 1st and 2nd generation Irish Americans in Vietnam.

Hitler and Stalin ? Really? Are you sure you want to say that?

@Arbitrasure – so if there is an Irish interet – we keep quiet about it ??.
@declean Noonan – – Im not all that keen n adding up gorey figures – but if u add up waht US has done since WW2 – u will certainly be in Hitler /Stalin Territory .- – via their own army and Proxies .
Vietnam 4-5 million dead .
Indonesia – 2-3 million dead .
iraq – one million dead – and maybe if u add in others from the sanctions that deprived people – women and kids from medicines etc – that number would be much higher .
- then there are a multitude of countries from Chile [ about 500,000- 600,000 dead , Panama , etc etc – about 50 countries in all – and now the sanctions against Iran are causing deaths .
as Kissenger said about Chile
” the future of Chile is far too important to be left in the hands of the Chilean people ”- that was 1973 – and nothing has cahnged since – in fact got worse – now US has Patriot act – and NDAA – full time survelince of all it and other countries people – thats the way . They are a police state – but Obama smiles about it . Heck – he must be busy on his next kill list .

Jim, r u serious? Hitler started a world war that left 60 million dead, Stalin and his policies left 20 million dead.
You blame the dead in chile on the US because of the words of Kissinger?
Get real!

@Delean Noonan.
What US has done in its history – yes outsrips even Mr H – and waht about the Native Americans – - many millions – and the Irish palyed their part there too .. They were wied out – and 60 countries invaded since WW2 – with the proise on Dec 25 of 2012 that many African countries would be invaded – sorry given Humanitarion aid . Look the stuff up yourself – on John Pilgers site , Znet , Project censored.
”You blame the dead in chile on the US because of the words of Kissinger?
Get real!”
I balme the dead on Chile on the Evidence – u jump to conclusions . Kissengers word cwere only put there a a demonstration of how US loks at other countries .
The facts are there – if u dont want to know – thats your business – but if so t is u who live in an unreal world .

ps – u have heard of Pinochet and Allende i presume . Also the Chile 9/11 was a far more vicous affiar in 1973 than the US 9/11 of 2001 – of which we hear so much – and which was used as an excuse for ” the so cllaed War On Terror ”- .
As for Vitenam – u can watch the BBC documntary on My Lai – and My Lai was only the tip of the iceberg . It took Lt Calley 40 years to say sorry for killing Ionnocent women and children – but at least he was brought to Trial – and served a few months for 21 murders – but was released when the US public began marching , demanding his release – and saying he was only doing his duty murdering women and children .

Lead balloon as usual.

I bet you’re as useful as one

Peter; I bet you like to take communion after five lads have put in a glass in the George….. Filthy animal!
