Bush Leaving Next Week for Trip to Asia Quote: It will be the president's second trip to Singapore and Indonesia and his first trip to Vietnam. "It is a region of dynamic and transforming economies, ranging from the financial and high-tech hub of Singapore to the reforming and literally booming Vietnam," Hadley said during a White House briefing on the trip. "But it is also a region that is experiencing change and uncertainty in some sense as a result of the changing power dynamics within Asia." Bush will meet with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and President Nguyen Minh Triet, an economic reformer who has pushed for his country's membership in the World Trade Organization.

Quote: I saw on the news yesterday Intel is investing about $1B in a manufacturing site their. I wish they wouldn't ship another plant overseas. That is another continuing mistake that the CEOs are making. And I question that our technology should go out to these people. But then I am not up on how Vietnam is doing....

Dr. Shane Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Our motives in Vietnam were good. The war was a disaster for them and us. Communism hasn't brought them what they had hoped. Forgien investment holds some promise of that. The world is becoming a smaller and smaller place as time advances on. We cannot ignore other nations unless there are valid political reasons to do so (like Cuba). Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
