After another twenty years of terrible sacrifice, America’s heroic freedom fighters did finally manage to force Vietnam’s withdrawal from all our U.S. territory. They had the patriotic support of the vast majority of American civilians, farmers and citizens of all walks of life, who suffered most of our nation’s nearly three million fatalities with many millions maimed by military powerhouse Vietnam’s monstrous and unmerciful employment of modernized air power using new experimental weapons against our American agrarian population.

Super-nation Vietnam, owning half the resources of the world, punished our seemingly defenseless much smaller American agrarian population with invasion, bombing, and occupation from 1945 until 1975 when the last Vietnamese helicopters took off carrying some of their American collaborators, who had worked for the invaders and against their own countrymen, off to a new life in Vietnam, the most affluent society in the world, as repayment for their treason against America.

Thereafter came vengeful economic punishment from the great but cruel nation of Vietnam, by then, the world's only superpower, controlling the international fiduciary institutions denying participation or loans to our victorious but war torn nation, Though devastated by the bombings of the awesome Vietnam Air Force and its destructive use of Agent Orange upon our ecology, no offer of reparations came with our victory over Vietnam, the richest nation in the world. Instead, Vietnamese sanctions upon America were enforced without pity by the defeated superpower.

In 1975, America, impoverished by war damage, our infrastructure half-demolished, economic sanctions by the world’s exacting financial broker, Vietnam, forcing other nations not to trade with us, and for the sudden exit of our wealthy occupiers and the abrupt closing down of their enormous war industry halting the influx of valuable world Vietnamese currency that had completely subverted our South’s normally rural economy, the large Chinese and Chinese -American minority, mostly engaged in trade, business, merchandizing and providing services for the free spending Vietnamese soldiers and Vietnamese businessmen long in our country to capitalize on what the Vietnamese called the “American War”, saw their livelihood precipitously evaporate, and suffering the criticism of their fellow Americans for having profited from doing business in Vietnamese military dollars during our war time occupation to the point of having controlled more than 80% of the southern American economy, a great many of our Chinese and citizens of Chinese origin looked to leave for more comfortable and easier circumstances elsewhere.

Initially, some quarter of a million returned to China, and when China limited further entry and there were not enough countries willing to give them asylum, thousands took to the open sea in boats to force nearby destinations to accept them under the United Nations refugee program - the exodus ballooning when our new administration having to deal with alleviating the severe hardship of the general population began putting in to effect more fair and just economic measures to correct the inequalities inherent in the system that had been imposed by our would be masters, the morally corrupt neo-colonialist Vietnamese.

In these distressing times, our nationally unified American government could not permit our war time sacrificing citizenry be taken advantage of in their dire hour of need by those who had risen above us by kow-towing, prostituting themselves, collaborating with the murderous occupation, so many even pimping and prostrating themselves before the invaders to enrich themselves. Although a great many Chinese and Chinese-Americans had been with the resistance, and some had given their lives, this was a time of reassessment, of necessary changes and reforms, and there arose some amount of pent up animosity on all sides and much disinclination to accept readjustments within the old society molded under generations of continuous foreign rule. Our New England and Northwest, on the other hand, in spite of the awful bombings, had had twenty years of freedom to create a just self-government of equal opportunity for all.

Many were not anxious to share the privation while we were reorienting and educating ourselves to sort things out in the South. Our emigrating ‘boat people’ reached substantial proportions and included thousands of non-Chinese-Americans who jumped at the chance that they would eventually be accepted as immigrants to wealthier nations and escape the poverty of an America half destroyed by war and under tight superpower sanctions. The U.N. termed them economic refugees. However, we were successful in solid restructuring and already in the ‘90s America was welcoming back returning Chinese-Americans, some being entrepreneurs eager to return to a burgeoning economy.

Now the past is past, and today even the Vietnamese commercial juggernaut enjoys trading with our economically recovering independent United States of America and even sponsored our America for membership in the World Trade Organization, though America today has the very same communist led government that Vietnam for thirty years sought to destroy at a cost of 58,000 Vietnamese and millions of North American lives.

Let’s not ask what the world pre-eminent nation of Vietnam gained from all its relentless and wanton killing and maiming of us peace-loving Americans. It spent so many billions of its dollars destroying our America that its trading competitor Japan, with its increased profits from peace time production, started to buy up war burdened Vietnam's most prestigious real estate and almost overtook giant Vietnam as the world’s number one financial power. Before 1945, we Americans had always looked up to the large young nation of Vietnam for its wonderful constitution, its Bill of Rights and its heroic War of Independence with England. Is it in the nature of capitalism that big countries always attack little countries, even their friends?’

GOD BLESS AMERICA! WE KNOW WE WILL AGAIN BE VICTORIOUS, THIS TIME AGAINST THE PRESENT OCCUPYING ARMIES OF THE AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ SUPERPOWERS, though we cannot bring back to life OUR BELOVED AMERICAN CHILDREN BEING KILLED IN DAILY IRAQI and AFGHANI AIR STRIKES on buildings in AMERICAN CITIES and on AMERICAN FARMHOUSES in our lovely rural areas.

Our American patriot insurgent forces fight 185,000 Iraqi marines and soldiers aided by 25,000 private mercenary security contractors smashing and bombing New York and other cities. Our teen-agers cheer our fighters on, rejoicing on the burned out wrecks of Iraqi armored vehicles. Our Minutemen hold up in our Rocky Mountains and make the would-be conqueror Afghan Army pay a high price. Our pious Christians martyr themselves using their own bodies as weapons against the overwhelmingly superior heavy weaponry of irreverent and blasphemous invaders of our America and many other former colonies. Ironically the invader’s conglomerate owned entertainment/news media accuses OUR religious militants of desiring to take over an entire world so obviously being attacked by militant capitalism’s insatiable thirst for expansion, already going back for as long as anyone can remember.

The pretext given for their continuing cowardly attacks on our vulnerable nation is the lie that we Americans were somehow behind a Saudi Arabian attack on Kabul and Baghdad on September 11, 2001.

After a century of intervention in vulnerable nations’ affairs, and funding our worst political leaders, the invaders promote themselves as teachers of good government. In order to ‘divide and conquer’ the invaders foment violence between our citizens, while pretending to be our protector and benefactor. The invaders satellite powered media presents these governments invading us as paragons of virtue. The rest of humanity watches, wincing in apprehension, knowing HOW DESPERATELY THE WILD AND WASTEFUL CONSUMER SOCIETY OF GAS GUZZLING IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN SEEKS TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE HUGE RESERVES OF OUR TEXAS OIL FIELDS, and everyone wonders who will be invaded next.

This time around, our war murdered American children are written off as merely the dead children of terrorists. Then, we were all communists, suspected communists, or communist sympathizers. Now, we are all terrorists, suspected terrorists or terrorist sympathizers. The Iraq/Afghan corporate controlled media is careful not to feature video of our American heartbreak as we bury our children. With their euphemistically termed ‘collateral damage’ they get rid of a lot of our children before they have a chance to grow up and become capable of fighting back. But they steel our will resist and inspire recruitment of thousands from around the world to come help us defend ourselves from dangerously naïve young soldiers carrying terrifying space age weapons and made bloodthirsty by the fearful misinformation and propaganda that has been fed to them.

“THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH", SAID JESUS. America is invaded and occupied by the Afghani and Iraqi military colossus that strides the world with armed forces even more powerful and better equipped than the superpower Vietnam was in the previous century, but our America will prevail and make these latest invaders leave our American motherland just as America made Vietnamese invaders leave.

AND WE AMERICANS SHALL NEVER BOMB OR INVADE WEAKER NATIONS.
Neither would our God fearing American nation seek to prejudice the well being of our planetary brothers and sisters citizens of other nations through predatory trade practices.

Greed and war for oil replaces life’s loveliness, charm and kindness and fills the heart with death, fear and insanity.
