Megan Kelly skewered Bill Ayers during her interview.\u00a0 She proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a world class slime bag and a pathological liar.\u00a0 No one who watched that interview with an ounce of objectivity could have anything but scorn for this miserable excuse of a human being.\u00a0 That being said, like a lot of conservatives today, Megyn missed the point.\u00a0 On several occasion Ayers floated out the argument that everything he did was justified because he was stopping the Vietnam War. \u00a0Why are we so quick to let people say the War in Vietnam was totally unjustified and that the world was better off when we left with our tail between our legs.<\/p>\n

For example, I know of a man whose leg was amputated by a doctor at age 11.\u00a0 As you can imagine, this was a very tragic event.\u00a0 If you only look at the amputation, one would assume that this was a terrible decision by the doctor.\u00a0 But in reality, that amputation saved that boys life because of an incurable cancer in that leg.<\/p>\n

We all know that a lot of people died in the Vietnam War.\u00a0 We know that the U.S. military killed a lot of people.\u00a0 We tend to forget that the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong were not exactly operating under the guidance of Mother Theresa.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We ignore the really obvious question:\u00a0 How many people died after we left and how many people would have died if we hadn\u2019t fought at all.<\/p>\n

The communists were determined to take over Vietnam.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t exactly ask nicely.\u00a0 They had a policy of exterminating anyone they thought might be a threat.\u00a0 This is similar to what happened in China, Russia and Cuba.<\/p>\n

I know this because I personally interviewed several survivors of the communist occupation of Hue following the TET offensive.\u00a0 Since I was usually one of the few Americans they ever met who spoke their language, they were very anxious to tell me their stories.\u00a0 Following is a link to an article about an American who was in Hue at the time.\u00a0 The stories I personally heard were much much worse than this.\u00a0 They are too horrific to repeat:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.unc.edu\/depts\/diplomat\/AD_Issues\/amdipl_8\/bullington_tet.html<\/a><\/p>\n

During the occupation of Hue, there were some 2,000 documented cases of execution and mass murder of Vietnamese civilians whom the Communists saw as enemies. These included South Vietnamese government employees, politicians, teachers, intellectuals, business people and religious leaders, as well as U.S. Government employees. Although cadre came to her house, since Tuy-Cam was working in Danang at the time, she apparently was not on the hit lists for Hue that had been carefully compiled in advance of the attack.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0 The communists attacked Hue with a list of people they wanted to kill!<\/p>\n

The article included reference to a poem by another survivor:<\/p>\n

The bodies of the dead float on the river.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

They lie exposed in the fields,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the housetops of the city<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And in the winding streets.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The bodies of the dead lie lonely<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the roofs of the pagodas,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the aisles of the churches,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the floors of deserted houses.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The bodies of the dead lie all around, in those cold rains.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Along side the bodies of the old and weak<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lie the bodies of the young and the innocent.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Which body is the body of my little sister?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(Trinh Cong Son, “Ballad to the Dead: Hue 1968”)<\/p>\n

How about this Mr. Ayers, BFF of the President of the United States. Explain to me, once again, why the United States was so evil in fighting against such pure unadulterated evil.\u00a0 Explain to me, once again, why your outrage is solely directed toward those people fighting to spare others.\u00a0 Explain to me why the people in North Korea are so much better off than the people in South Korea because of the imperialist military intervention by the United States.\u00a0 Explain to me how the people in Cuba are so much better off than the Cubans in Miami forced to live under our repressive regime. Explain to me why so many Vietnamese risked everything they had to find a way to get to the United States rather than live under communism in Vietnam.\u00a0 But better yet, explain to me how the two million people who died in Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge took over benefited from your efforts to end the war.\u00a0 Please explain it to me, because I have having a real problem understanding this.<\/p>\n
