VIETNAM RECEIVES THAI ARMY HEAD

    HANOI, Jan 16, Reuter - Thailand, which provided bases for U.S. bombers
during the Vietnam War, sent a military delegation to communist Hanoi this
week, headed by its army chief General Vimol Wongwanich, the Vietnam News
Agency (VNA) said.
    The agency said late on Friday that both sides agreed Thailand and Vietnam
should build a new military friendship.
    Wongwanich visited Hanoi on Thursday and Friday at the invitation of
General Dao Dinh Luyen, chief of staff of the People's Army of Vietnam. He
also held talks with Defence Minister Doan Khue, deputy prime minister Phan Van
Khai and Foreign Minister Nguyen Manh Cam.
    "The two sides informed each other of their respective armies, and
exchanged views on issues aimed at strengthening the mutual understanding and
consolidating the friendship between the two armies, thus contributing to
maintaining peace and stability in the region," VNA said.
    It quoted deputy prime minister Khai as saying "the visit would contribute
to developing the friendship between the peoples and armies of the two
countries."
    Vietnam and Thailand have been traditional regional rivals for centuries.
For years they backed opposing sides in the Cambodian civil war.
    In another sign of Hanoi's growing ties with non-communist countries in
Asia, VNA said Vietnamese labourers would be sent to South Korea this year to
work at garment, plastics and leather factories.
    Vietnam has brought home tens of thousands of guest workers from the former
Soviet Union and eastern Europe since the late 1980s, following the collapse of
allied communist governments.
    Those workers used to send home badly needed cash or were used by Hanoi to
repay loans from the Soviet bloc.
    Since then Hanoi has been searching among fast-growing Asian economies for
new markets in which to sell its labour.

Since Tung voiced his opinion, I would also like to voice mine.

I am sure Tung and I don't share the same backgrounds nor the
same experiences so I just want him and everyone else to know
how I feel about this. I am not an exile in the U.S. I took U.S.
citizenship. Not all Americans are good nor are the Vietnamese.
Some might call you names but not every. I don't 
have to be white to be American either. In fact, my best friends
are whites and some of them tread me even better than Vietnamese
friends. My point: your experience doesn't speak for all Vietnamese
and not all whites are bad.

|I don't need to change my  skin color  or  my heritage to succeed.

In my opinion, this sounds like an economics refugee to me.
When I escaped, I escaped because of repression and I promised
to be faithful to whomever take me in. I don't need to change my
color to be an American either. I just am!

|(to tell you the truth, I took US citizenship out of convenience

|the US. But, I promised; so I'll defend the US).

I feel uneasy about this paragraph. I think you don't have to be
a U.S. citizen to get all travel conveniences. GreenCard should
do the job.

As for as helping Vietnamese PEOPLE in VietNam, I am all for it.
Finally, I am very proud of my Vietnamese heritage,
but most importantly, I am damn proud to be an American!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hey !!!  Somebody felt the same way as I did about a week ago. :)

After I read his statements, I was really flamed and felt uneasy too.

I think you will all enjoy:

"Evergreen" by Barbara Streisand.  It's on the movie soundtrack
"A Star Is Born"

Many of her songs are guaranteed to please the wedding crowd or [the two of 
you] snuggled in front of the fireplace...

Andy,
You're kidding? Where did you see the CLD-820 for $500. In this Bay Area
the lowest I saw was $699.

Subject: My two-cents
Organization: Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp.

X-News-Reader: VMS NEWS 1.11



Lately, there have been a lots of talks about whether we should go back and 
help rebuilding VietNam, and whether the US should lift the trade embargo, I 
would like to add my two cents about this matter. 

Warning: I will not get into any personal verbal war with anyone. SO DON'T
EVEN TRY TO PROVOKE ME. IT WON'T WORK.

That being said, IMHO once VietNam is opened to the world, the people will
also be benifited. It's true that "dang vien cao cap" will probably get
even richer. However, with cheap labor on its side, VietNam will be able
to attract foreign companies to do business in VietNam. This will lead to 
more jobs and perhaps will reduce the number of starving people. This will
hopefully help the economic problems in VN.  Since I don't know any solution
to correct the political problems in VN, ie I don't know how we can surely
overthrow the gov't. in VN and "xay dung" a new gov't. there, I can go with
this opening of VN to the world because it may bring hopes to the people.

As for me, I may work for US (or foreign) companies doing business in VN for
a short time (few years or so). This will allow me to be closer to my 
grandmother who is still living in VN. And also closer to the people of VN. I 
will however not work for VN gov't unless it is a democratic (and not a
communist) gov't and my works won't go against the US gov't. My reasons are I 
am an US citizen, thus will want to come back and contribute how little I can 
to this country and will not go against its gov't. Few years back, I was a 
refugee without a country. The US took me in, gave me a place to live, a chance 
to go to school and re-build my live.I voluntarily become an US citizen and 
considered USA as my country. True I still love VN. But I also love the USA. 
These are my reasons. Some of you may call me "un-patriotic" to my motherland.
Some may say I forget my "to tien giong noi". But that the way I am.

Those are my two cents. I wish you all a very happy, prosperous new year.

Hould we help Vietnam? OFCOURSE one should! It's just that you have to
be real careful about "how to do it". (Also:it may take some time.)

	Ok,  you want to  be alone? I will let you to be alone but you 
have to watch out what you say. For instance, you wrote " ...Litle boyz@RIT.."
Who are "litle boyz" ???. THe reason I picked on you because your words, not
because I hate you.
