The Heart of Darkness

The Vietnam war was an astounding thing that affected the
entire Nation, and set the tone for an era.  It created 
controuversery and togetherness, but at the same time it 
brought out the dark side of people.  
The protestors where
 in fact working toward a rightous cause, but in away 
they were preaching something that they didn't follow.  They 
spoke out agianst war, and transferred this belief into hate 
agianst returning soldiers.  An example of this positive move-
ment turning bad is Jane Fonda.  She traveled over to the 
"enemy" capital and took part in spreading propaganda.  In her
mind she probably thought that she was supporting peace, but 
in actuallity she was participating in an hateful and immoral
practice.
On the other side of the spetrum though, Soldiers that were 
sent to vietnam also caused pain and suffering. For example 
the My Lai Massacre.

My point is that the Vietnam War brought out the darkside of many. perhaps we should stop the hatred and try to mend the wounds inflicted by this bloody violent period of our past.
