"The parents of our Vietnamese and Cambodian and Afghan kids especially ... have been affected by the tragedies of war, and I think we shouldn't say that that's insignificant or somehow not important."

Odd that many of the Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Afghan people who came here did so to escape opressive, and often murderous, regimes.

The jet might represent something deeper than just a school mascot to them, alright: it might be a symbol of the power of the nation which they willingly came to to escape opression and gain opportunity.

Funny how poorly those who claim to speak for others think.

All the Vietnamese people I've met in the US aren't upset that we used too much military force in Vietnam, but rather that we used too LITTLE force. If we'd played a little tougher, they and their families wouldn't have had to flee communist oppression in tiny boats.
