I just saw a well-fed Betty Nguyen's CNN on-air lament that when she leaves poverty-stricken Communist Vietnam, she "never leaves feeling like [she's] done enough."
I'd say CNN's news-reporting ancestors have done quite enough to Vietnam, working the United States public into an anti-war frenzy and forcing us to abandon the hope for Vietnam's future to Ho Chi Minh and the brutal Communists.
For a member of the United States news media to lament that the Vietnamese under Communist rule are so poor is disgusting. Not one second of Nguyen's report delved into the question of WHY the Vietnamese are poor, WHY the Vietnamese are struggling under the Communist yolk, and WHAT role the US media played in their predicament.
Bleeding hearts to the end, all the press can see is their good intentions regarding its handling of the reporting on Vietnam. Now they want credit for their good intentions handing out a few pairs of shoes and some rice to villagers in a rice paddy. Disgusting, intellectually vacant hypocrites, the lot of them.
