My Lai Time.
The Italian dailies all note this story from Time Magazine:
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1174649,00.html
about a US military investigation into civilian deaths at Haditha. Google News shows the world talking about it more than the US is, perhaps because the US media are somewhat reluctant to yield so readily to Vietnamishness. Surely this is not really My Lai time, but hey, that was after about eight years of the Vietnam War, and there's still plenty of time, since, as Bush said at his news conference yesterday, we cannot expect to disengage during his lifetime, er, pres-o-dency. More thoughts on that remarkable press conference later, as it niftily confirms some points I tried to make in this morning's post about the justifications for the war.
