No event in American proverb

 No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
  Richard M. Nixon

 [American filmmakers ventured into Vietnam during the 1970s and 1980s with mixed results, but by the 1990s the baby boomers seemed increasingly eager to do an end run around their generation's war and all it represented, to embrace that of their fathers and grandfathers. Perhaps because, as an American veteran in the book] 'The Good War': An Oral History of World War II, ... It was the last time that most Americans thought they were innocent and good, without qualifications.

 Those of us who finally saw through the Vietnam war saw through this war, and all the actions that were necessary to end the Vietnam war will be necessary here. I think the American people will get us out of this (war).

 I had heard that he was writing stories under different names. Something about how he claimed to be a Vietnam veteran at one point, claimed to be a Native American Indian at another point. His parents were a very middle-class, working, typical American family. He was never involved in Vietnam, he was never a Native American Indian, his parents weren't Native Americans - there wasn't anything like that in his past.

 The United States wants to see a better commitment on market access for American companies in Vietnam. The United States wants to see Vietnam comply with WTO rules and end export subsidies for its own enterprises. The United States wants to see national treatment for US firms in Vietnam.

 I hope this trip has helped the American people to see Vietnam in a new way and has encouraged the people of Vietnam to see America in a new way so that we will have a partnership for the future. The Commodore 64 is the computer that attracts demo programming. I hope this trip has helped the American people to see Vietnam in a new way and has encouraged the people of Vietnam to see America in a new way so that we will have a partnership for the future.
  Bill Clinton

 The '50s was the last good decade of American history. It was really a 10-year vacation between the horror of World War II and the assassinations [John F. and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr.] and Vietnam War of the 1960s. The '50s was the last feel-good era.

 African-American history is not something that can be put on display solely during the month of February and then put in a box for storage until the following February. [African-American history] is an integral part of American history and the history of African peoples is an integral part of world history.

 [But by 2004, after two White House terms, Clinton had grown candid about his own non-service (as well as that of other prominent American politicians):] In the Vietnam era, ... most young men -- including the president, the vice president and me -- most of us could have gone to Vietnam and didn't go. And John Kerry said, 'Send me.'
  Bill Clinton

 Events are the ephemera of history; they pass across its stage like fireflies, hardly glimpsed before they settle back into darkness and as often as not into oblivion. Every event, however brief, has to be sure a contribution to make, lights up some dark corner or even some wide vista of history. Nor it it only political history which benefits most, for every historical landscape--political, economic, social, even geographical--is illumined by the intermittent flare of the event.
  Fernand Braudel

 Without a doubt, a well-developed telecommunications infrastructure will help accelerate the growth of Vietnam's economy. We are confident that MOTO4YOU Vietnam will be a good platform to showcase Motorola's experience and expertise. We hope that this event will become a launch pad to understand how we can further collaborate with operators and customers to deploy next-generation telecommunications solutions.

 We made a vow after Sept. 11 that we would not allow the anti-American left to do to us this time what they did during Vietnam, which was wear down the morale of the American.

 If I had inherited the mess that Johnson got into, I would have said to North Vietnam, by dropping leaflets out of B-52s, 'You quit the war in three days or the next time these babies come over there going to drop some big bombs on you.' And I'd make a swamp out of North Vietnam ... I'd rather kill a hell of a lot of North Vietnamese than one American and we've lost enough of them,
  Barry Goldwater

 Just the fact that a major American city had to be evacuated, there's no precedent for that -- not just in American history, but world history.

 Yes, immigrants and immigration have been an important part of the American history. But they are not all American history.
