80% of Americans thought it was unfair when Lieutentant William Calley was convicted for war crimes in the My Lai massacre -- after *photographs* were published in Life magazine.
Other countries are supposed to express contrition for their governments' crimes. Go ask a random American if he's ready to say he's sorry for what his country did to Indochina. Most likely he'll say it's the *Vietnamese* who should be apologizing to *us*.
