  Salon Vagabonding | Searching for Binh Hoa
To be honest, I didn't know much else about the Binh Hoa massacre at the time, and maybe that's why I'd suddenly decided to go there.
Binh Hoa, on the other hand, was more difficult to sell: a mere case of Asian-on-Asian violence -- the soldiers of one poor country (as South Korea was in 1966) brutalizing the citizens of another.
The death of 502 civilians at Binh Hoa was -- in a very basic way -- not marketable; it was too ambiguous.

The Hoa Hao is a reformist Buddhist church established in the late 1930s in the Mekong Delta of southern Viet Nam.
Senior Hoa Hao leaders and more than 100 of their followers, including members of the former South Vietnamese National Assembly, were reportedly sent for varying periods of ''re-education'' without trial, as were several hundreds of thousands of others associated with the former regime.
The Hoa Hao group was represented by Le Quang Liem, who was a leader of one of the major Hoa Hao factions prior to 1975 and who is regarded by the overseas Hoa Hao groups as the church's leader.

 Massacre at Hue - North Vietnamese communist crime against its own people
The entire campaign was divided into three phases: Phase I came in October, November, and December of 1967 and entailed "coordinated fighting methods," that is, fairly large, set-piece battles against important fixed installations or allied concentrations.
The battles of Loc Ninh in Binh Long Province, Dak To in Kontum Province, and Con Tien in Quang Tri Province, all three in the mountainous interior of South Vietnam near the Cambodian and Lao borders, were typical and, in fact, major elements in Phase I.
Phase II came in January, February, and March of 1968 and involved great use of "independent fighting methods," that is, large numbers of attacks by fairly small units, simultaneously, over a vast geographic area and using the most refined and advanced techniques of guerrilla war.

An Hoa, all the same, is in the eye of a storm - the action swirling around the combat base but rarely touching it.
To try to understand the alleged massacre by American GIs of civilians at My Lai it is necessary also to understand the atmosphere of a war which has led many U.S. fighting men to feel they are as much at war against Vietnam as for it.
While the communiques speak of battles involving companies and battalions-the clash of professional soldiers doing their grim job - each GI carries with him the certain knowledge that in any village there may be men, women, and even children who are also the enemy, waiting for the time and place to attack him.

The purpose of this publication is to relay to the later generations a few details of the wounds that the Vietnamese people had to live with and to remind all generations of their duties as knowledgeable and conscientious people that they should bring justice forward.
And worse of all, the massacre of Hue, where thousands of unarmed citizens were clubbed to death and buried alive, were treated as minor news and practically escape world's attention.
The massacre of thousands of people in Hue was not a result of personal vendettas but was rather a strategy of terror based on the Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist determination to eliminate their enemies using "revolutionary violence".

 Protest against massacres of Vietnamese fishermen by P R China's Navy
Despite the fact that the survivors made land and reported the massacre by gun boats flying the PRC's flags, the Vietnamese government and its state-controlled press did not announce the brutal murders by Chinese gunboats until Jan 13th.
Do Hong, Communist Party secretary of the Hoa Luc village, home of most of the victims, confirmed that the PRC admitted that 8 Vietnamese fishermen were killed in a fishing dispute.
The weakness and silence demonstrated by the Vietnamese Communist government in failing to address the issue of this massacre of Vietnamese fishermen in the Gulf of Tonkin are concrete evidence that the Vietnamese Communist Party would readily sacrifice Vietnam's sovereignty and the rights and the livelihood of her people.
