Wrong. Like I said earlier, you need to learn some history. So I'm wrong am I? What's you're true point here Sam?? That Ho was always pledged to democratic values and wanted to be the George Washington of Vietnam?? That his "fellow travelers" were just as pledged to democratic values when he died? So great.. Vietnam has been united since 1975. Where are the elections? Are we pledged to support elections that will only result in having the whole concept of government "of the people, by the people, for the people" should perish by electing people who don't believe in democracy? Nothing personal, but you're being silly and ignorant here, trying to rationalize something that won't bear it. No.. it is kind of personal. You're trying to tell me that we're obligated to cutting the political throats of every person in Vietnam (or anywhere else) by supporting elections where totalitarian ideologies are permitted to destroy everything we're working to achieve. That sounds pretty moronic to me.. So where are those elections Ho Chi Minh promised upon unification?? Hawk
