And so is Ek's views of Israel where Israel hold 35% of its population in bondage for far longer.

And even if we accept that a hundred or even 200,000 people died or were imprisoned after the North Vietnamese took over, its still only 10% of the 2 million Vietnamese who died on both sides of the Vietnamese war between 1963 and 1974 in the combined stupidities of LBJ and Nixon. As we can't tack on to North Vietnamese guilt the killing fields of Cambodia which mainly resulted from Richard Nixon's widening of the Vietnam war that in turn destabilized Cambodia and the former nation of Laos and Burma.

As today the Vietnamese population has rebounded to some 70 million people from a low of 26 million in 1974.

My view of the world may be quite different from EK, but pardon me if I assert EK and his ilk who have far more defective, limited, and colored world views that does far more damage to the entire world, far more damage to future US foreign policy, and the US and world economy.

I will stay out of your discussion with EK but I have to correct some data/facts in your post.

Vietnam war was not over until 4/30/1975 when NVN tanks crashed the Presidential Palace. I was at that very same place a few months ago.

The Killing Field was the result of the Cambodian Khmer Rouge regime (with backing from commie China) killing their own people = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Fields. Commie NVN can be blame on a lot of things but not this one.

Vietnam population is over 90 millions, 13th most populous country in the world = https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/vm.html

<<--- knows a few things about South East Asia history and spent a few years over there.
