1 - Instead of a war in vietnam what do you think the united states government should have done? A: We should have helped Ho Chi Minh negotiate an end to the French colonization of Vietnam. Ho could have been a strong ally to the US, as Ho admired its founding fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson. Vietnam under Ho's leadership could have been a buffer to any expansion tendencies China may have had.
Instead of a war in iraq what do you think the united states government should do or should have done? A: They should have left Iraq alone. The people of Iraq deserve any leader they have. In other words, if they wanted to put up with Saddam Hussein, that was their choice. Eventually, they would have overthrown that egomaniac without our help. Our incursion in Iraq made Iran stronger. What was the sense in that? It's just another case of a Bush misguided adventure as Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and there were no weapons of mass destruction.
How much better off is vietnam now than it was during the war? A: Much better off. I saw a vibrant country in which many countries were making investments (see recent blog on this subject). Also, tourism is booming, although very few travelers from the US, but Australians were vacationing there a great deal. There were many first-rate hotels up and down the coast of Vietnam on their beautiful beaches.
If you could go back in time during the war what would you say to a vietnam soldier or leaders in the government? A: Keep your head down. Don't harm any innocents. Leaders, read the history of Vietnam. The truth will make you free.
Do you regret being a soldier, regardless of the fact that it was during the vietnam war?
A: No, I learned a lot about being dependable in a unit, and the history of Vietnam, and I saw a part of the world that I probably wouldn't have visited. Now, I love Vietnam and am glad to see it doing very well.

What advice would you give to men or women who want to fight in the war? A: Get involved with the Peace Corps and see the world and help others without being a cog in the military-industrial gear wheel. -Alex Young Hr. 6 (Comment this)
