Good news for Dong! The film was too painful for *me* to watch more than 20 minutes. I will give it another try.

Okay, how about we punish them; no trade, off limits for tourists, like Cuba. Pete Peterson and his wife could be influential in this matter--they lose money if no trade.

Nice to hear the unreasonable regime has decided to be reasonable, for a change.

I wonder what they want.

...As Former Congrressman BOB DORNAN and I Co-Narrated the Fall of SADDAM's Bronzed Statue on his National Talk Radio Show on this Day of Freedom, April 9, 2003...

...I shared DON DUONG's 1st Day of Freedom as he lands today in San Jose, California from a still Communist Vietnam ..a FREE MAN.

...BOB and I Co-Narrated the 2nd Airstrike on New York City's Tower 2 on September 11, 2003.

...Not knowing then that we were both witnessing the Death of Battle of IA DRANG-1965 .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Hero RICK RESCORLA as Tower 2 so quickly came down on him after his already saving 1,000's of others...

...this Day of Freedom for Iraq is the Perfect Validation for the way RICK RESCORLA always lived his Life for US.


Sooo....

NEVER FORGET that HILLARY RODHAM, BILL CLINTON, JOHN KERRY, MICHAEL MOORE, MARTIN SHEEN and the like NEVER wanted to see this Freedom come to Iraq, just like they NEVER wanted this Freedom to live on in a once Free South Vietnam.

NEVER ever FORGET this.

...and that, WALTER CRONKITE, really is the way it is...

...despite the fact that you also NEVER wanted this Freedom to come to Iraq or Vietnam as well.


WALTER CRONKITE =
Friend of HILLARY


HILLARY RODHAM =
Friend of HO CHI MINH

It would really be great to get Bob Dornan back on air again.

I remember you mentioning to Bob the second air strike on Tower No. 2. I also remember that day waking up from dreaming of this horrific event.

...It's Official. It's Real.

...DON DUONG is FREE.

Los Angeles Times Photo Caption, April 9, 2003 California Section, Page B-6 reads in part:


ACTOR's FREEDOM

DON DUONG, branded a traitor in Vietnam, hugs his sister, SUSIE BUI, upon his arrival Wednesday at San Francisco Airport with his wife, left, and two sons. The Vietnamese government objected to his appearance in .."WE WERE SOLDIERS"

A grinning DON DUONG is seen embracing his sobbing for joy sister with his wife smiling broadly behind him to his left.

GOD is GOOD
