Trade with VietNam = OK

Trade with Cuba = Not OK.

Anyone else see the hypocrisy here?

Last week, the US and Vietnam signed an agreement that paves the way for Vietnam to join the WTO, the World Trade Organization.

Our globalist is at it again -- the sooner we get these utopian ONE WORLD elitists out of Washington, the better off this country will be. (wishful thinking, I know).

Oh, did I see Billy Jeff sticking his big nose around the corner again??

If you react in disgust, still bitter about our loss to them,

You know, the article makes a lot of sense but for some reason, it just sits all wrong with me.

One will not find a greater proponent of the US trade embargo and travel ban than Castro.

Why is this taking so long? Should have been back 15 years ago.

I know that Vietnam is slowly moving towards free markets but unless they moved towards democracy we shouldnt be dealing with them...at all..sounds like if Vietnam trully is afraid of a Imperial China they would be more than happy to barter freedoms for protection from the USA.

I agree.
At the same time, I think Vietnam is being slowly, but surely worn
down as a real Communist state.
I've just noticed tidbits in the news over the years...e.g.,

American dairy men getting the Vietnam dairy system going again
(thanks to the French and Americans, Vietnam has a taste for dairy
products unlike most Asian countries)

Opening of decadent golf courses and banking systems (as reported in
The Los Angeles Times over the years)

and the rock-star turnout for Bill Gates a few months ago when he
visited Vietnam (even the Communist Party bigwigs took a break from
a major meeting to see him).

I get the feeling those Communist Party members sit around a table
asking each other "Remind me Comrade...who won the war?"
