Excellent article. Thanks for the ping. I absolutely agree that President Bush should apply pressure for a decent degree of human rights in Vietnam during his June 21st meeting.

Last Tuesday the Orange County CA Board of Supervisors officially proclaimed, on at 5-0 vote, the Freedom and Heritage Flag of Vietnam as the Official Flag for the county's Vietnamese American Community to fly at their community events held on county land.
That makes over 85 counties, cities and states that have done so in the little over 2 years when the cities of Westminster CA and Garden Grove CA (Little Saigon) first led the way.
California Assemblyman VAN TRAN, our 1st Vietnamese-American State Legislator, has had his co-sponsored SCR17 Freedom and Heritage Flag Bill pass out of a State Senate Committee on a 5-0 vote, and then out of the Senate altogether by a 22-0 vote.
Next stop, California State Assembly Committee and Floor votes and then off to a Gov. ARNOLD Signature.
