#4  China is working hard to exert its influence over all of SE Asia - will say again that America needs to make peace, rapport, and to get together wid still anti-Everybody unified Vietnam, and before the Chicoms succeed in making anti-China Vietnam/Hanot Govt. into another un-annexed Chinese province-peon state like starving North Korea, and Tibet. Pro-Chicom armed Maoists are striking all along the East and South Asia periphery, from Bangladesh to Thailand to India to Malaysia [Red Star White Turban]. China is using as much capitalist $$$ as it can to succeed in replacing Commie Vietnam's anti-China old guard and pol-establishment wid pro-China elements. *Iranian Empire in ME-EURABIA? = Chicom Empire in Asia-Pacific + 1/2 of CONUS.

Does Danny Glover know about this yet. He'll be purty pissed off. Maybe Hollywood can do hands around Vietnam as a symbolic gesture in support of Communism.
