BUSH/CHENEY's immediate answer to the Attacks of 911 was to start bringing Freedom to the oppressed peoples & cultures of the world as America's own best self protection against future terrorist attacks here at home.
California State Assemblyman Van Tran is the 1st Vietnamese-American to take office as a State Legislator in United States History, being sworn in on December 6, 2004.
As a direct result of a Democrat-controlled U.S. Congress cutting off of funds for the then Free South Vietnamese to continue fighting for their own Freedom ...a 10 year old Cub Scout named Van Tran and his family had to quickly board an American C-130 Air Transport plane bound for Freedom abroad ...six days before the Fall of Saigon in April 1975. He spoke just 2 words of English at the time.

What irony -- Howard Dean meets a Vietnamese American who clobbers him with reality.
Good Morning.
Thanks for the ping SL.
Sorry I can't stick around for Tony today,got to go to work.:)
Great read AR!
Thanks for posting it.
WTG Van Tran!!!!
even though he speaks first-hand about what happened in Nam and why we can't let it happen again, it's only a matter of time before he's attacked as being "out of the mainstream"..
I personally think they should leave Dean alone..he's the single greatest weapon the Reps have..
From his press release:
"Assemblyman Van Tran Assembly District 68 Proudly Serving: Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Anaheim, Stanton, Newport Beach. . . ."
I hope they're proud of Mr. Tran. I certainly am, and I don't even live in California.
I wish he had mentioned the boat people.
Or the 1.7 million Cambodians slaughtered by Pol Pot
Excellent, simply excellent. Thanks for the ping, this one is going out to me email list.
It went right over Dean's head.
He will just get uo, brush himself off, and continue on.
Oh, Dean should get a paycheck from Rove, he's so good for us.
But Tran is doing an important thing in challenging the conventional wisdom that the withdrawal from Vietnam is a good thing.
Howard Dean will take no time at all to get back to the business of disrupting his party. However, he is at risk as it's visible to seasoned Dems that he is trying to control the party message and is doing it badly for them.
There is an unawareness that is pretty high in the DNC. But this is a little hard to miss.
So by attacking Dean, we are in fact strengthening his position in the DNC. Some kneejerkism just can't be stopped. And that's a useful tool for us. :-)
:-) You're welcome!
:-) Excellent. Because the good part is to challenge the conventional wisdom of average Americans. If Dean is oblivious, that is wonderful for us.
This is wonderful...Dean is obtuse beyond words.
I hope he stays at the DNC forever.
It's also going out to MY email list. heh.
Funny how actions have consequences, and thanks to the dems treachery in Vietnam, Tran is a true American patriot.
What other action was possible by Bush and Cheney after 9/11? Groveling to UN thuggery? Carpetbombing?
He is on the brink of getting into trouble as the disarray is too public for the Dems to deny.
Dr. Demento is Karl Rove's operative lol.
