If you want to see the loons come out (both leftist loons and the anti-semite loons), you only have to look at the comments under the AOL/AP story referenced in my previoous entry. I am going to try to give you a flavor of some of it here (in quotes, with my reply below).
"Evil should be fought everywhere! The My Lai Massacre was the mass murder of 347 to 504 unarmed citizens of South Vietnam, almost entirely civilians and majority of them women and children, conducted by U.S. Army forces on March 16, 1968. Before being killed some of the victims were sexually molested, beaten, tortured, or maimed. Some of the dead bodies were also mutilated. The massacre took place in the hamlets of My Lai and My Khe of Son village during the Vietnam War. The U.S. soldiers, one platoon of which was led by Second Lieutenant William Calley, went in shooting at "suspected enemy position". After the first civilians were killed and wounded by the indiscriminate fire, the soldiers soon began attacking anything that moved, humans and animals alike, with firearms, grenades and bayonets. William Calley is now living a comfortable and quiet life in the US, he was considered by many here in the USA fo being a "WAR HERO"! JUSTICE for who!

William Calley was CHARGED and TRIED for his alleged (pretty much proven) crimes at My Lai. Soldiers snap in war. Some did in World War II (that is, some on our side).
All you can do is hold them accountable, to the extent possible. This is entirely different from the systemic EVIL of Nazi Germany, or of today's al-Qaida, Iran, etc.
If you can't see the difference (as Reverend Wright, for example, can't), then I am sorry for you.
