Lenny: Viet Govt will not apologize to the people because they now
have peace in Vietnam and the cost was highly paid in the sacrifice of
many lives in order to restore peace and unity to Vietnam. Do you ever
get the education from this side or just look from the US/western
thinking? It is important to look from both sides in order to
understand. Very difficult for the foreigner to understand sometimes.
In my view, you can apologize for your nation, but what does it do
when you have no power to change anything. The power lies in your
politicans and if they apologise it benefits the bilateral
relationship between two nations... ultimately, that is where the next
journey begins.
