I hope Dubyah tries the vaunted Cobra Dinner!

It was famous among Secial Forces Personnel back in the day. The meal is washed down at the end with a mixture of whiskey and cobra venom, which is said to prolong one's life.

I was in Vietnam last month, my third trip there. I drank blood directly from a poisonous beheaded snake in the Mekong Delta. We'll see if my life is prolonged.

Vietnam has its problems, but we should encourage their efforts to develop a market economy and engage in international trade. They're moving in the right direction, and they are certainly no friend of China.
