Mr. Le Thanh Tung

What do you think about the comments from Mr. Son Nguyen &
Mr. Cuong Bui about the article you posted early ??

So. When are you going back to Viet Nam?. A friend of mine is 
trying to get into University of Pennsylvania. He needs some 
rooms. I Hope you will soon leave this place. If you wish, My 
friends will chip in buy you an "one way ticket" back home to 
VN. Stay there. Do not come back. The VN government will welcome
you with a nice, warm & open arms. They are waiting for you to go
home now. Hurry Up. Take your parents home with you too.
