Thats why its oppressing it, to stop the contagion. The report from a correspondent on the ground  ROMA, October 22, 2008 ? At the synod taking place at the Vatican, there are two bishops from Vietnam: the bishop of Nha Trang, Joseph Vo Duc Minh, and of Thanh Hóa, Joseph Nguyên Chi Linh. The latter of these, speaking on the morning of October 13, called the Church of Vietnam "one of the Churches most harshly tested by bloody and uninterrupted persecution." "The Church admits that she has greatly profited and still profits from the antagonism of those who oppose or who persecute her." Proof of this "profit" ? he said ? is found in the flourishing of conversions in Vietnam, and the growing respect shown to Catholics for their extensive work in defense of motherhood, in a country with an extremely high abortion rate.

McCain also acted to remove criminal penalties from laws concerning illegal suppression of evidence about MIAs. Why Has John McCain Blocked Info on MIAs?John McCain has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didnt return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents Nixon pledged $3.25 billion in "postwar reconstruction" aid. The North Vietnamese remained skeptical about the reparations promise being honored (it never was). Hanoi thus held back prisoners--just as it had done when the French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 France later paid ransoms for prisoners and brought them home. There exists a telling mass of official documents even sworn testimony by two defense secretaries that "men were left behind." in the first months of Reagans presidency, the White House received a ransom proposal for a number of POWs being held by Hanoi Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
