"We are haunted by the image of Vietnamese who trusted and supported us ...

"It was my fault, mine personally; I was part of the antiwar crowd and I'm sorry. But my apology is too late for the South Vietnamese dead."

Hello David Gelernter! While I agree with us not pulling out until the entire job is done in the Mid East and around the world where 3rd world despots and fanatical terrorists want to see us not just pull out but our total destruction and the collapse of "our way of life", I am not at all impressed by the quotes above.

Where is your apology for the 55,000+ American families of the dead American service men and countless of hundreds of thousands of brave young American fighting men who kept the faith while you protested. Even today in your article Mr. David Gelernter you fail to make apology nor even give any credit to those of us that kept and continue keeping the faith while you sit back in your ivory tower of American freedom and ponder the issue.

Not only am I not impressed I am quite frankly PO'd at Mr. David Gelernter's blasé approach to this subject and callous manner of the most important reason you (David Gelernter) should be apologetic concerning activities concerning the Viet Nam War, which we lost because the majority of the people at home lost the faith and stabbed those of us who didn't directly in the back.
