John Kerry sold out our Prisoners of War and Missing in Action in favor of Trade Relations with Vietnam. Why? You could ask John McCain, he joined up with Kerry in this effort. I accept the obsession that people have with obtaining the remains of their dead. It brings them closure. jttmab

Interesting..... From Jul 2000... Though Vietnam and the United States restored full diplomatic ties in 1995, it has been a cold peace commercially. The two nations have minuscule trade flows totaling about $1 billion. America ranks ninth among foreign investors there despite an initial flurry of interest in the Vietnamese market. A handful of major American multinationals, including Cargill, Caterpillar and Nike, have invested in Vietnam. Some economic analysts predicted that companies like Nike would immediately add thousands of jobs there if American tariffs on Vietnamese-produced goods are substantially lowered, because they could then use that country's industrious but low-wage workers to produce in bulk for the American market the way workers in China do today. mishalov.com From Dec 2001 13 Companies Selected for Historic Trade Mission to Vietnam U.S. Companies To Explore Business Opportunities in Emerging Aerospace Market...
