I recently reread Dr. Tom Dooley's historic book Deliver Us From Evil which tells of his time, immediately after the 1954 accords ended the French-Indochina war, running the refugee camp at Haiphong through which some 600,000 North Vietnamese passed trying to escape to the south. From the very beginning North Vietnam persecuted Catholics, and Dooley describes some of this in sickening detail - school children bound and mutilated by having chopsticks shoved into their ears so that they could no longer listen to religious teachings, priests hung upside-down and beaten almost to death with bamboo sticks, etc. Perhaps allowing this bill to pass is too threatening to the likes of Kerry because it might bring back to the public some reminder of how evil the Communist Vietnamese really were, and help point up just how bass and corrupt he and his fellow-traveler "anti-war" ilk really are......

...I remember newly installed President JFK calling Dr. TOM DOOLEY an American Hero in early 1961 for helping the peoples of the former French Indo-China stand up to invading Communism as JFK looked forward himself to an uncertain future there.

And we don't want to make "Communist" an ugly word, since the Communist Chinese are so helpful to Ambitious Democrats. Just what do the Chinese want from our Democrats anyway???

how do you know that Dooley's book is true? Maybe you want it so.
