How soon we forget, save for 3 good men



On Yuletide Eve, twenty-four Dec 2004 (before you proposed my own blog here), you published a post titled3 American Heroes during My Laiover during my alternative (then shared) blogsite,BolehTalk.

The title of which post was surprising because, as well as you have to 'fess up, you abhor, depreciate as well as would usually reject a USA's neo-colonial imperialistic adventures in Vietnam, as well as in assorted tools of a world such as Afghanistan, Iraq (Gulf War II) as great as a assorted forward avaricious nosiness in a Middle-East as well as South America.

So it would require a sincerely humongous sea-change-type of bid by those 3 American soldiers for me to deem them as heroes.

In thatBolehTalkpost, you wrote:

Thirty 6 years (by now, 44 years) ago in My Lai, a single of a most shameful episodes in US military history occurred when around 60 American troops massacred 400 to 500 Vietnamese civilians, mainly women as well as young kids during My Lai. They raped, mutilated as well as tortured their victims during a full of blood mayhem. The only male court martial-ed for this distressing slaughter was Lt William Calley. He was condemned to hold up seizure for a murders though expelled 3 years later, when pardoned by President Richard Nixon.

But a few among a US soldiers did exclude to participate.

On which dim full of blood day, a few great group stood out similar to bright resplendent stars, as heroes, loyal American Heroes.

This Yuletide Eve, as you applaud a bieing born of Jesus, you remember a Three Wise Men who came from a East to honour Christ. We should additionally use this special arise to honour as well as remember a Three Good Men from America. you post ! this in low apply oneself of a thr! ee US Ar my helicopter airmen for their incredible bravery, tellurian goodness as well as honour in carrying out their duties as bold soldiers upon which fateful day during My Lai.

I salute Hugh Thompson, Lawrence Colburn as well as Glenn Androetta.

Today, RPK, once a hero to many PKR supporters, is considered by them as a 'zero', expel afloat upon an indignant roiling sea, facing impression massacrea laMy Lai from his very same though erstwhile PKR admirers.

These wonders have already done up their minds, all since RPK had a lush effrontery to impugn their Icon. I'm a bit sick of their foolish anwarista-ish fanaticism.

But upon this dim full of blood impulse for RPK, a few great group stood out similar to bright resplendent stars, as sane, balanced, assuage as well as satisfactory heroes, loyal to their own perceptions.

While not necessarily similar with RPK's opinions of Anwar Ibrahim, as well as even chiding RPK for what they consider as his unstinting as well as untimely attack upon Anwar, they have struck a generally satisfactory path. Their comments have been:
But either Anwar is convicted or not, as well as either or not RPK is in a pay or a thrall of a government, it seems to me which both of these argumentative total have played important parts, indeed starring roles, in awakening vital portions of a Malaysian open to a perfidies of Umno/BN.

And right away it's up to each Malaysian to be sufficiently inspired as well as emboldened by the! se respl endent examples, however tarnished they right away competence be or possibly have yet to become, to mount up as leaders rsther than than only followers; as fighters for their principles rsther than than pacifist supporters of open figures.


The upon top of was by Dean Johns in his column
Principles beat personalitiesatMalaysiakini incidentally, a article's title is additionally indicative of Dean's high level perspective of a imbroglio.

Then you have:

RPK, whom you go upon to apply oneself as well as adore as a brother as well as friend, even though you competence be diametrically against in specific instances - as well as to whom you will always be grateful for his magnificent role as a powerful galvanizer of political awareness - competence have decided which Anwar Ibrahim is "morally unfit" to be allocated a 7th budding minister. He has each right to his personal opinion.

The upon top of was by my matey (wakakaka) Antares in his post during his blog
Magick River- poor Antares gets annoyed when you address him as 'my mate! y' wak akaka, as well as you do apologise if my brief extract of his post conveys any incorrect design of his views.

But a most touching came from a male you truly admire. He wrote:
Many of you competence already have lost why RPK as well as Marina have been right away in exile.

I've related 3 posts below.

The initial as well as a second you wrote in 2008, whilst RPK was detained in Kamunting.

The last, prior to he as well as Marina took flight to go in to exile.

Please read them all. Read a comments too. Who knows, you competence only be reading right away what you wrote then.
Have you misrepresented ourselves to RPK?
If a nation values anything some-more than freedom, it will remove a freedom: as well as a irony of it is which if it is comfort or money which it values more, it will remove that, as well W. Somerset Maugham
Greater adore hath no male than this, which a male lay down his hold up for his friends


Many of you appear to be of a perspective which RPK has betrayed us, as well as has sole out.

I consider you grounds this upon his interview with TV3 final March as well as his ultimate interview with NST as well as Utusan.

I do not share this view.

Mine is premised upon a male as well as Marina which you hold you have come to know.

We cannot both be right.

Let us all goal as well as urge which a blunder is yours as well as not mine.

You have my word, though, which should you find a blunder to be mine, you will not demur to divulge all which you know to you.

Meanwhile, this dissimilarity of perspective aside, you have been all committed to see a finish of "Pakatan Rakyat" as well as BN's reign of restraint as well as rape as well as plunder.

Let not ! this dis proportion of perspective distract us from a work prior to us.

In my final post you had said which by God's will, you will, together, plant love, love as well as apply oneself in this land of ours.

To those of you who hold which this male who once served us all so selflessly has, for whatever reason, left us, you titillate you to let a process of planting love, love as well as apply oneself proceed now.

If you truly hold this,! rsther than than hate, urge which God earnings RPK to a course.

Whilst you do not disciple this, if you must hate, save it for all which "Pakatan Rakyat" as well as BN do.

For me, you will urge which you will never ever have to say sorry to you for being wrong. You competence want to add this in your prayers, too.

The upon top of have been extracts from Brother Haris Ibrahim in his post
Oh Lord, how shortly you forget!atThe People's Parliamentblogsite.



Indeed, Brother Haris, how shortly you forget! But patently your sense of loyalty runs low as well as prolonged similar to Antares' Magick River

I salute Dean Johns, Antares as well as Haris Ibrahim.
