For sure the people in the North has more freedom now because the goverment adapt the "freedom" from the west (as Chinese, Russian communist) so they can have more money in their pocket...<br />But not with the people in the South. thousands & thousands people (from the South) have risked their life escaping communist for their freedom.<br />my own experience when the South became communist, we did not have any freedom compare with the old goverment..everything got control by the goverment even with the basic daily living activities: where to stay, what food you allow to buy, to book to read, what song you can sing, all the travel, grocery, study, meeting etc. got controlled by the communist goverment; the school children were brainwahsed & forced to wear the red scrap & become "good children to uncle Ho" before to be come the good children to their parents; most every family has the father, son forced to go to "jail" (the so called re-education camp". <br />so if the North lost in the war, VNese in the South would not had lost their freedom, and the peolpe in the North would had re-gained their freedom right away without all the bribe from the goverment peopleKimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663325692700112562.post-59981520745369899962010-05-25T23:47:26.861-07:002010-05-25T23:47:26.861-07:00america did not colonize vietnam, so what "la...america did not colonize vietnam, so what "lack of freedom" is huyen talking about? the american influence would be greater if the north lost and probably some would perceive vietnam becoming a US puppet but truthfully that really would've resulted in much greater prosperity for all, not to mention prevent the travesty of what happened to southerners afterwards. you want to talk about patriotism and being proud of your country - prosperity would've preserved and encouraged culture in so many ways and thus strengthened the national character, a thousand times moreso than bloody communist ideology that ran vietnam down to the ground even moreso than it was after the war, until you had doi moi in the 90's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663325692700112562.post-61212761607448815862010-05-25T19:57:05.220-07:002010-05-25T19:57:05.220-07:00I think both those two kids have too young thinkin...I think both those two kids have too young thinking. They are not told about much about how hardly and how proudly old Vietnamese won the war against Americans. If we lost in the war, we would not have had our freedom as now. I cant imagine what would the kids think if that happened. <br /><br />I feel really sad when our young generation thinking like this?!!!Huyennoreply@blogger.com
