I’ve read more books about the
Vietnam War: “The Road Not Taken, (Max Boot)” “Vietnam: A History (Stanley Karnow)” and “A
Bright Shining Lie (Neil Sheehan)” and videos such as “Vietnam: The Ten
Thousand Day War” and “Vietnam: A Television History.” None of them mentions any
Japanese journalist, politician or diplomat. “A Bright Shining Lie” mentions “Akitane
Kiuchi” and “Minoru Omori” only as interviewees, but they do not appear at all
in the story. I remember little about the war but I know there was active
movements against the war in Japan too. It seems they didn’t occupy any part of
the worldwide anti-war movement and they meant nothing. I have to wonder then
what impact, if at all, people like Kondo Koichi (近藤紘一) and Kaiko Takeshi (開高健) had on the trend of the war. Probably, nothing.
SHAME ON YOU, LESSIE. SHOW YOUR FACE TO THE WORLD AND
REPENT AND ACCEPT THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR STUPID ACTIONS. YOU ARE NOT A HUMAN
BEING, JUST SCUM. AND YOU ARE A FUGITIVE.
