The statistics are monstrous. Tens of thousands of Vietnamese children have been terribly burned by American napalm and are receiving scandalously inadequate treatment. Many are gradually dying. A quarter of a million children are already dead in this wasteful war, and another three-quarters of a million have been wounded or maimed since 1961.
This destruction of children is not one of those sad but inescapable accidents of war. It is a direct and necessary result of the Johnson Administration’s policy of unrestricted bombing of the Vietnamese countryside.
This is a policy that, in the face of evidence presented here, must be halted and halted immediately.
There are certain issues beyond political considerations. The killing of children is one of them.
