No moan for Loan !

How well I remember the impact of that Vietnam War EXECUTION

    PHOTO. Was it not simply a WAR  CRIME to execute on the spot a helpless

    prisoner of war - even if the man himself was a war criminal. Did not

    the government of Israel give even Adolf Eichmann a fair trial ?

        THE EXECUTIONER - Nguyen Ngoc Loan -died in this country at age

    67. Eddie Adams'  shocking photo won a Pulitzer Prize for The Associated

    Press. Perhaps Adams regrets its influence on the anti-war movement, a

    movement that owes no apologies to the nation.

        " The guy ( Gen. Loan ) was hero", Adams says today. " America should

    be crying ".

          America is still crying over the national tragedy that was the

    Vietnam War. But we should cry for Gen. Loan ? Rubbish !
