- Unfortunately, I don't think Vietnam is in the position of the U.S.
- U.S. is big, powerful, and a free country; while Vietnam is small,
- poor, and is not free.

- How? Vietnam does not have credits to rally any nations. They have
- no money, no power, no respect for human rights. Do I trust the
- Vietnamese government since I am a Vietnamese? No, I don't think so.
- But I don't think this is the issue, the issue is "Does Vietnamese
- government care enough for the Vietnameses in Cambodia to protect
- them?"; I don't think so either.

- You may forget that last time Vietnam got supports from the U.S.S.R.
- Now they are on their own. Yes, the international condition has
- changed.
