"A time comes when silence is betrayal." And that time has come for us in relation to Vietnam. We
have destroyed their two most cherished institutions: the family and the village. We have
destroyed their land and their crops. We have cooperated in the crushing of the nation's only
noncommunist revolutionary political force, the unified Buddhist Church. We have supported the
enemies of the peasants of Saigon. We have corrupted their women and children and killed their
men.
