It makes me wonder if the same thing is happening in Iraq..

America has done acts of great evil i.e. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but sometimes, their intentions and motives were justified, other times they were not, like in this massacre.
It's just terrible.

Vietnam war started wrongly and many soldiers were often confused of the aims of such unjustified war. And confused soldiers tend to make the worst mistakes. And My Lai was one of them. And since when war is not hell? [From Gen. Sherman: "War is hell"]
P.D.: Only one was charged. They forgot the guys who prepared this criminal war.
