My Lai was stopped? Do you mean it was stopped in the same way that 
Nanking was stopped?

Followed the script. Applaud the courage of the perpetrators, 
congratulate the units involved, and attack the patriotism of those who 
ask inconvenient questions. When thinking of responses to Nanjing, No 
Gun Ri, My Lai/Co Luy/My Khe, Derry, or Srebrenica & Dvor etc, I wonder 
if there is a universal "ready to use" template.
