Results…All US Forces KIA in Vietnam = 58,169
The Hanoi government revealed on the twentieth anniversary of the war that the true civilian casualties of the Vietnam War were 2,000,000 in the north, and 2,000,000 in the south. Military casualties were 1.1 million killed and 600,000 wounded.
Which side was God on?
While sitting at an outdoor café table on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv Israel, the handsome actor son of the then defense minister Dayon, said {to paraphrase it was years ago) that he didn’t think the Wailing wall, now the Western wall, was worth the life or limb of any of his comrades. He said that he calls himself a Jew because it is the only rational for taking someone else’s land, water and resources. I said, "Then even though you do not call yourself religious, you still claim that as a person with a Jewish mother God gave you the land."
He told me that the Jews escaping from the holocaust had no other choice and they convinced themselves that God, did indeed, give them the land.
His mother Ruth admitted in her book that she furnished her home with confiscated Palestinian furniture. I wondered how far is that from taking the gold out of the teeth of the victims of Auschwitz. With God on your side you can see what you want to see.
Students at Hebrew University gave me the analogy of the Christians taking the land from the Natives in America. They are right, but only if God is on your side can you make two wrongs into a right.
Today the slaughter in the area goes on. Jews are killing Muslims. Muslims are killing Jews. Christians are killing Muslims, Shiites are killing Sunni’s, Muslims are killing Buddhists and Catholics are killing Protestants and Protestants are killing Catholics.
This week I intend to go to a Catholic early mass and attend a protestant service later and during the week go to a temple, mosque, synagogue and I will pray to all the Gods PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GOD DAMNED RELIGION BUSINESS BEFORE IT WIPES US ALL OUT. Or is that the idea?
