Just an empty sack of hot air. Do your homework next time, ok?

Interesting page. Here's an extract from it:
--------------------------
What make you think they don't? The real questions here are how far beneath the surface does the hatred run, and how they show it, or rather how Americans perceive it. It depends on the individual on the street, as well as their age, but I can say that the hatred is definitely still there even after 30 years (and still runs according to the old political geography) Only that it is not open hostility so much as wary suspicions combined with quiet malice.

If you can read it, here's something to support my point:
http://www.thuvienvietnam.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4868

The posted example is: When the WTC was attacked, the poster jumped for joice because the "American emperialists" was "punished". Why? The poster implied that he felt that way because he hated Americans, because it was in accordance with government policies AND what he was taught at school. (He was a sophomore in college then) If you really look, you'll find elementary text books there today that teach something like "this morning my dad shot 3 Americans, in the afternoon he shot 2 more. How many Americans did he shoot today?" 5 years ago, when I was visiting, there was a "American war crime museum" in Saigon; the name might be changed now, but the place is still there. When hatred is institutionalized it's hard not to show.

They do business with us out of necessity, not out of love.

The people there are very friendly, but don't walk around saying you're an American with no money if you're in the North! :D (Heck, they hated me just by my association with the Americans!)

If you spend some time with them and reminisce or educate them about what you did, the hatred comes back. It's amazing. Just as the guy above says. Their "love" for you is only skin-deep, Millie.
