AH, THE ANTI (GI) WAR MOVEMENT!

Ann Coulter’s most recent column deals with the left’s continued war against our troops in Iraq. She brings up a quote from a man named Bui Tin who fought against the Americans in Viet Nam. Tin served as a colonel in the Viet Minh and later as vice chief editor of the People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Vietnam among other publications. He left Viet Nam after becoming disillusioned with corruption and the isolation of his country in 1990 and now lives in Paris, France.

In August 3, 1995, he was interviewed in The Wall Street Journal. In the interview Tin called the American peace movement "essential" to the North Vietnamese victory.

"Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a.m. to follow the growth of the American anti-war movement," he said. "Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."

Thanks for all your help Cindy. I’m sure your son appreciates all you’re doing for his buddies.

I’m sure they’ll remember you with as much fondness as Viet vets remember Hanoi Jane.
