It's strange to me, when we are fawning over Tito, catering to Kadar, accommodating Khrushchev, we don't even have the decency to express our sympathy to a family which was a real foe of Communism. There is a human factor here in Mme. Nhu's losing her husband and brother-in-law, and we didn't show decency...
