Vietnam
Trial against the Khmer Rouge begins
It looks like a film already seen, yet another demonstration of how history repeats itself.
Two days ago, after more than thirty years, the trial began, a Nuremberg in Asia.
The defendants have between 79 and 85 years, three men and a woman, the top (or rather what remains) of the Khmer Rouge regime.
Few Cambodians can show the same age and same health conditions, most of their peers were killed or died of starvation and fatigue.
A whole generation was wiped out within 5 years of nightmare, more than one million 700 thousand people dead and rotting in swamps.
The skulls are preserved in various museums and mausoleums.
Few, unfortunately, yet know this interlude of horror, this appendix of the dirty war in Vietnam, an ugly and inconvenient sister to keep hidden for as long as possible.
Americans, officially, never been there, but their bombs yes, and of little… Continue reading
Iraq war ends or is just the beginning?
In seven years, more than a million of USA soldiers have rotated themselves in Iraq, now they are leaving.
Without a greeting, without a goodbye, they are now living, and Iraqis people probably don’t know if to be satisfied or concerned about the departure of American troops.
When the USA soldiers ten years ago entered in Baghdad just conquered there was no fight… there were only hundreds of children who are keen to put to secure their loot: refrigerators, cabinets, fans, chairs, mattresses, just stolen in the ministries, in hospitals, in the police stations, in the barracks abandoned.
Those boys was not frighten probably they not even looked at soldiers avant-garde in the labyrinth of Baghdad. There were no more police officers and Iraqi soldiers nearby.
The war appeared concluded, won, actually was just the beginning.
I remember well those times, I was in Thailand and my new life there… Continue reading
My Lai massacre is impossible to forget
Also this year I could not stop myself to thing about My Lai and to pay respect to the victims.
42 years ago on 16 March I was not even born, my mother was just a teenager, in Italy we thought to understand all about the new amazing world leaded by US going to bring the men to the moon few months later.
The cold war was at its best, but was not cold on the other side of the planet.
In a remote village of Vietnam William Calley guided the company “C” to the massacre of an entire Vietnamese village.
Women was raped and shot, children were killed by the bayonet, and the elder was consumed by flamethrower while embracing the babies trying to protect them.
The leaders and responsibles, thanks to Nixon, just got sentenced 2 years of jail changed later in few months.
Today, after all those years,… Continue reading
Hmong sacrifice
I feel really sorry and sad about the Hmong story and their sacrifice during the Vietnam war, I just find out this nice video that make me think how history is going on repeating itself.
The Hmong story is really not considered from media, also today, also in the new American president era, let see if Americans for real will be able definitely to change the way.
I do not think so, in this period of my life for sure I’m not optimistic but hope never die.
Have a look at the video and do not forget to turn on also the speakers…
