One [dissident in Vietnam], Pham Hong Son was sentenced to 13 years in jail for posting a translated essay on democracy - which he originally found on a U.S. Embassy website - on the Internet.

Vietnam will be free one day, no thanks to Kerry.

This subject is well covered in UNFIT FOR COMMAND but I have not seen one journalist review this. When you add the fact that Kerry while leading only 600 VVAW at first and was able to get an audience with the North Viet Nam, it makes you wonder, "who were his contacts."

CW, thanks for posting this. I only wonder when some honest and enterprising American reporter will cover the high-level of animosity toward Kerry in the Vietnamese-American community.

Despite John Kerry's prediction of a benign communist takeover in South Vietnam, after the Kerry-inspired pullout in 1975 at least six of my wife's relatives were consigned to three-year stretches at "reeducation camps." Two came home permanently crippled. All were subject to various degrees of torture. And even today, the father of her best friend is serving his second 15-year prison term for the simple act of advocating democracy in Vietnam (http://www.pttndt.org).

Polling done last year indicated that the Vietnamese-American community supported the war in Iraq and the war on terror by higher percentages than even native Americans, with 80 to 90 percent favoring GWB's approach (see Vietnamese, Filipinos Top Supporters of War in Iraq and First Multilingual Poll of Immigrant Opinions on War in Iraq).

The Vietnamese-American community (which started with 1.2 million refugees but is now much larger due to the growth of families and post-1985 immigration) is well aware of John Kerry's historic treachery against the United States and South Vietnam. He is regularly called "mac con ngua" (horse face) and "phan boi" (traitor) on the front pages of the leading weekly Vietnamese-American newspapers.

Finally, not one of the millions of Vietnamese-American citizens now in the United States has ever come forth to support Kerry's charges of atrocities against Vietnamese civilians. Not one. Yet they are universally aware of the war crimes perpetrated against Vietnamese civilians by the Vietcong and the NVA, both before and after 1975.

From 1971 to the present day, John Kerry has done everything in his power to make the lives of the North Vietnamese communists as comfortable as is possible.

Bump, my two cents. Kerry sucks, TG the swiftboat vets are exposing JFK.

I've been wondering this myself. It would make an interesting story, and certainly a relevant and timely one. Our press really fails us. I wish everyone could read FR so they could see these sorts of articles (and comments like yours...very interesting about your wife's family).

Thanks, RONNIE- link's copied & saved.

California has about 500,000 Vietnamese. They could be an important part of the electorate in that state. There are 50,000 in Washington State. The Vietnamese community in the US is decidedly anti-Kerry.

[trebb]

concerned that denying aid to Vietnam would actually slow human rights improvements.

Yes - rewarding bad behavior is always the shortest path to stopping it...

[chuckles]

Don't forget Seabrook and Kemah Texas. Shouldn't have to go to Austrailia to get a comment.

The Vietnamese community in the US is decidedly anti-Kerry.

Decidedly and hugely.

The Vietnamese-American community doesn't typically make a lot of public noise about American politics (the grace of refugees), but they hold back nothing in the more insulated environment of the Vietnamese-American press.

There, Kerry is nothing less than a traitor, and that's exactly what they call him.

Ask and ye shall receive. LITTLE SAIGON EYES KERRY Vietnamese refugees everywhere despise Kerry.

"Last October, about 20,000 Vietnamese protested in Australia's two largest cities after a government-funded television station aimed at ethnic communities began to air Vietnamese communist news programs."

lol.... the Australian government is promoting communism? sheessh...and I thought our government was brain dead?

Thank you for the post angkor.

I can't begin to tell you how much your words and the suffering your family has endured, articulates who John Kerry is and what he will do as leader of the U.S. To think he holds any office at all is an insult to what our Republic was based on.

Bump.

Added a link for this story to my John F. Kerry Timeline.

I hope we hear more from the Vietnamese-American community.

Bump!
