in 25 years we'll look back on a Viet Nam free of communism

I feel sorry for the generation of Vietnamese children that were abandoned to Communism by Kerry's pressuring of our government.

I wonder how Kerry would have felt if he had to watch his children grow up under Communism.

I'm pretty sure the people of South Vietnam are mostly free of day to day communist indoctrination. When my daughter decided to visit as part of a honeymoon trip -- she wanted to see where I had been -- I started looking at the we. I found a site run by a Vietnamese American who visits frequently. At least in the south, tourists are free to come and go without supervision. No one stops you from taking pictures. There are internet cafes everywhere without any obvious filters.

So as I said, O'Neill's prediction is correct, even if he was off by a number of years. Vietnam is not North Korea.

On the other hand, it does seem determined to meddle in Laos. I don't know what that's about. I don't want to paint a rosy picture, just a realistic one.
