There are a lot of ethnic Vietnamese people here in Silicon Valley. The past couple of years I did a 10K charity event organized by the Silicon Valley Running Club. One co-worker was a child on one of the boats that escaped Vietnam. Another lady was surprised to learn I was not going to vote for Kerry (she wasn't going to either).
The "anti-war" people have a lot of blood on their hands and caused a lot of suffering in getting their way.
