The Ho regime, itself the aggressor in South Viet Nam, maintains nonetheless that the U.S. is carrying on an aggressive war and that its pilots have committed the crime, as defined by the Nürnberg Charter, of causing "devastation not justified by military necessity."

In London last week, the U.S. and four key NATO partners agreed to a new plan that seemed aimed at refuting the French objection. It calls for a chain of commands across Europe to give Washington's remaining 13 NATO partners a joint voice in the target selection and firing of 6,000 tactical nuclear warheads, which the U.S. has placed in Europe for NATO defense.
