Well, the local Vietnamese population is up in arms and demonstrating vociferously in from of the White House... lots of red and yellow flags flying, and NONE with a star.

I was pist when Slick Willy's administration opened diplomatic relations with the Reds, then it was announced that he would visit, and it was reported that an American WARSHIP WOULD LOWER HER COLORS IN DEFERENCE TO THE HOST NATION. This would be in gross violation of US law... we are forbidden to dip Old Glory to ANYONE...

I guess enough steam was generated about that,
that it didn't happen, thank God.

So, how does anyone feel about Dubya's announced visit to Vietnam next year?

I wonder if he'd like to take a few good ol' Texas Boy -'Nam Vets along with him, just for the good PR?
