The Turks used Coffee as a drug to hype up the troops before a battle like the Viet Cong used marijuana before battle.

Right now Vietnam is the world's top coffee producer. Oh, and they are NOT using communist methods to produce it.

I've had Vietnamese coffee and it's delicious! They apparently use ONLY a kind of Rubusto bean (NOT Arabica) which is usually not very tasty, but they've mastered the art (evidently from the French)growing and roasting it perfectly and, well, Vietnamese coffee is just GREAT.

I also think anything we can do to promote capitalism there...is a real service, to those poor people.
