U.S. policy in Vietnam has been hard on the children of that country, as reported by the news media. Intervention in Chile by the U.S. and by the CIA (which reputedly has some ties with the U.S.) has also brought suffering and danger to most of the children of that country. The fascist dictatorship (which was welcomed by many U.S. newspapers as well as by Kissinger) has announced plans to subject 600,000 children to “rehabilitation” in rural camps or in other special “correction” centers. Many of these children are described as coming from families “in conflict with the established social order,” that is, their parents were supporters of the previous Popular Unity government. Support for that government was retroactively declared to be treasonous, with the result that many of these children are now orphans. If Kissinger and Ford are really concerned about the well-being of children orphaned as a result of their policies, they could express it by withdrawing their diplomatic recognition of the fascist rulers of Chile, and by demanding the closing of their concentration camps.
