Thus, in Viet-Nam the blind bombing of civilian targets and populations continues relentlessly without justification. More than a quarter of a century of war has proved, if we needed proof, that a military solution to this conflict is most improbable and that it is up to the Vietnamese and the Vietnamese alone to find a negotiated, just, equitable and lastL solution, without foreign interference. That is the essential condition without which, we believe, the Vietnamese people cannot live in peace, and certainly not in peace with independence and dignity. Only the neutralization of South-East Asia can restore peace to that region.
