Nadine, re: "The 200,000 were only the first wave of boat people. The second wave was 400,000 or more. And the article did not give figures for deaths by starvation and "re-education" inside Vietnam."

So, now where's your support for your grandiose claim that millions of Vietnamese were killed by the North Vietnamese communists after we left?

By the way, the article you posted said this about the second wave of refugees.

"These events were combined with continuing political instability, increasing corruption, natural disasters that reduced crop yields, increasing political suspicion against ethnic Chinese, and little if any infrastructural development. All of these factors eventually led an increasing number of Vietnamese to become desperate to escape."

And, are you grateful to the post war Vietnamese for intervening in Cambodia and ending the deadly brutality of Kmer Rouge there? Ed
