<p>The causes of WWI could be considered useless in many ways, but it doesn't make it any less important that it either be remembered or at least seen by people. I think that many of these Vietnam images have become much more well known than a vast majority of WWI/WWII images because there were many young people fighting in a war they didn't believe in along with it being one of the first wars to be streamed live (or fairly so) to homes far away from the fighting. I find many images from Vietnam to be very provocative and powerful, while the photos from earlier wars don't seem to have the same intensity (I'm not biased towards either since I was born the year the Berlin Wall fell down ;) )</p>Dong Tran commented on 'Iconic photos from the Vietnam War'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef0133ed17daab970b2010-05-01T01:54:59Z2010-05-01T01:54:59ZDong TranI am a Vietnamese and I am tired with these photos.

There are many photos of the hell in VN after the war, about people tortured to dead in labour camps, people shot dead when try to escape the country, and no western meadia captured them and show them, why? because you don't see them. God! please stop talking about the war 35 year ago and let talk about the hell in VN right now. </p>
<p>Let tell the true of VN after the war, the whole thing, not just half of the true that you see. If you want to know about VN war, please talk to boat people. Ther are thousands of them, please talk to them.</p>

<p>No one lost in the war, only the innocent people that lost. When do we going to learn ? Did we see in World war 1 and 2, The Holocaust, Vietnam War, Kosovo, Middle East Ect.............., what War do to all of us. </p>
<p>Stop the War, stop hatred, stop the racism, this only cause more lives of innocent people because someone want to has power over other, learn to LOVE, and RESPECT one another, learn to see each other as human being not the colour on their skin.</p>Phillipe DeBaurrier commented on 'Iconic photos from the Vietnam War'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef01348045e6b5970c2010-04-30T17:50:23Z2010-04-30T17:50:23ZPhillipe DeBaurrierI don't believe anyone mentioned here that the US won the war, did they?

She has been a resident of Toronto for many years, I heard her speak of her ordeal some years ago and I could not stop weeping. And that's hard for a man to do under any circumstance.</p>Jack commented on 'Iconic photos from the Vietnam War'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef01348042d948970c2010-04-30T04:21:17Z2010-04-30T04:21:17ZJackWho cares?

She is now a proud Canadian living in Ajax, Ontario and the mother of several children. She embodies forgiveness ever since she met with the pilot who dropped that napalm on her village. It was mistaken for a rebel stronghold. I wish her long life and much happiness despite the burns that still affect her all these many years later.</p>john commented on 'Iconic photos from the Vietnam War'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef0133ed121d73970b2010-04-30T01:54:46Z2010-04-30T01:54:46Zjohnhttp://www.john-lai.comwar is a terrible thing<p>war is a terrible thing</p>pc commented on 'Iconic photos from the Vietnam War'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef0133ed11d826970b2010-04-30T00:47:13Z2010-04-30T00:47:13Zpc"War is hell".
