Vietnam freedom ping.
Thanks for the heads-up.
From the public information one generally hears these days in the news, Vietnam has basicly been 'cleansed' of any negatives from the past. All mentions of the nation seem positive and devoid of any hint of a problem with the present government. Nobody seems to remember the aftermath of the Vietnam war in Vietnam.
No actors call press conferences to decry anything negative Vietnam has done or is doing. It's as if it exists in a void, and is the only entity allowed to issue press releases about itself, all positive.
The media group-think going on right now with regard to Vietnam causes me to scratch my head from time to time.
Thanks for the report.
Back in '98 or '99, maybe '00, Klintoon was coming to visit Saigon while I was there. A friend of mine had a small apartment and I came up with a plan to rig up a banner across the street (the street that was undoubtedly the path for the rapist to his hotel)). I explained it to my friend who said "go for it" and I explained it to my girlfriend who lives in Saigon - she simply said "I wouldn't do that."
I got the message.
It's an extremely repressive government. I've been there a gazillion times.
