Vietnam is free of foreign domination Depends on exactly who you call "foreign". Vietnam, as I once read somewhere, consists of some 50+ different ethnicities. So to a Hmong, or a Montagnard, the Vietnamese are the invaders. -- five million people died so that they could be free. Hmm... free to be dominated and "re-educated" by an "elite" class of corrupt and megalo-manical rulers? It hasn't been until recent years that the economy has been permitted to open up. And I wonder if you're including in your numbers, the countless Cambodians and Laotians who suffered as a result of Vietnamese attempts to "free" THEM? The only thing that resulted in Vietnam was that a set of dominating and corrupt rulers accountable via elections, were replaced by an even more dominating and corrupt set of rulers who were accountable only to themselves. The difference between Capitalism and Communism is that with Capitalism, man exploits man. With Communism it's the other way around.. Hawk
