The Third World War From Ho, With Love

Burnham

You may have missed Ho Chi Minh’s New Year’s greeting to the American people. It read as follows: “On this New Year’s Day I wish the American people, with all my heart, peace, prosperity and happiness. The people of Vietnam seek peace passionately. But peace is impossible without genuine independence. The American imperialists are carrying out an aggression against Vietnam, and the Vietnamese people must fight to protect their independence and to defend peace. The ruling circles of the United States talk about peace, but in actual fact they make war. Let the American imperialists halt their aggression and all their military operations against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and withdraw their soldiers from South Vietnam, so that the Vietnamese people may put their affairs in order as provided by the 1954 Geneva accord: thereupon peace will be immediately re-established in Vietnam.
