A few years ago I was in a Vietnamese Buddhist Temple in Toronto, and in the middle of the service a fight broke out between one man who (I later found out) had been in Ho Chih Minh's army and a "boat person" who had been with the American Strategic Services office in Saigon. About seven seconds after the fight broke out, ten people crowded around me and begged me to leave the temple, as this was a Vietnamese problem. I was virtually dragged out of the temple, and within a few moments the families of the two men came out with each of the men, all of them crying and carrying on. They saw me on the sidewalk, and covered up their faces in shame, and rushed off into the morning. I received a written apology from the head of the temple 3 days later. For nothing, just because I had been there.

Could somebody sometime say a few words about the million dead Vietnamese?

yours, Peter T.
