The Wall

clipped by: m4a3223
clippers remarks: This clip is a reminder of some of our young men and women who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. Many names are on The Wall. I lost my cousin in the Vietnam conflict. He was only 19 years old. I was only around 7 when he went away but I remember him to this day. This past fall the Traveling Wall came through my hometown for 4 days. This was the first time I got to "see" my cousin since he was sent to war. I never have seen the real Wall before but I hope I can someday. If you get the chance maybe you can see the Wall or the Traveling Wall if it comes near you. You dont need to know anyone on there, in fact you are lucky if you dont. Its an eerie feeling walking amongst the names of the fallen but its also a reminder to each and everyone of us.

Vietnams Growing Role in Outsourcing

clipped by: vietnam
clippers remarks: Picture in vietnamnet.vn: E-Town, rapidly developed hi-tech center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. HCMC has recently been chosen as 1 of 10 new destinations of outsourcing, follow Business Week.

Clip Source: www.businessweek.com

When Microsofts video game unit began looking to offshore some work in 2002, Vietnam was hardly an obvious choice. But after a fact-finding team returned from an Asia-wide tour including stops in India, China, and South Korea, a small outfit named Glass Egg Digital in Ho Chi Minh City was a top contender. After successfully completing a pilot project designing 3-D racing cars used on the Forza Motorsport game installed in every Xbox console, Glass Eggs relationship with Microsoft (MSFT) has steadily grown.

Homegrown Vietnamese companies are gaining momentum too. The countrys largest outsourcing outfit is a division of Hanoi-based IT company FPT Corp., which just garnered a $36.5 million investment from private equity firm Texas Pacific and Intel Capital.

Further proof of Vietnams potential are the ringing endorsements the country has received from some of ITs biggest names. In March, Intel (INTC) Chairman Craig Barrett visited Vietnam to unveil plans for a $600 million chip testing and assembly plant (see BusinessWeek.com, 3/13/06, "Good Morning, Vietnam"). Intel subsequently bumped up the figure to $1 billion.

What is Web 2.0 for donkeys?

What is Web 2.0 for donkeys?

�� What is Web 2.0 really? A quick search on any search engines lists around half a billion web sites on this topic! Therefore the topic has become popular though its a hoax. Hoax is like a corporate balloon they make up in the media world and blow it so much it looks like a real thing although its a lie. Like WMD in Iraq! The main reason why web 2.0 does not make sense is that first of all, there was no such thing as web 1.0. That never existed. Even the web is a network of computers that was built on a computer geeks concept called a WAN. Nowadays instead of Wide we can use Worldwide or Global network whichever sounds better than web. But web has been growing at a mind turning speed despite lots of interventions and obstacles. These control freaks range from corporate giants like AOL, Microsoft, etc trying to monopolize it and turn internet users into cash-cows to fascist states like China and Burma that have created a bizarre kind of job by promoting a concept called filtering. Web was once like a snowball crushing anything on its way but now its a black hole that sucks in anything from books and media to US senators calling it A Series of Tubes.

Advice, But Often No Consent

Dec. 6, 2006 - America was mired in a frustrating, seemingly endless war. An election year was approaching, and the president?s own party leaders were terrified that their recent crushing midterm congressional defeat would be repeated in the coming race for the White House. To blunt the war?s unpopularity, a commission was proposed to measure the crisis and give the president political cover for finding a way out.

The time: January 1968. The war: Vietnam. The president: Lyndon Johnson. Half a million Americans were fighting in Asian jungles, and LBJ was considering requests for hundreds of thousands more. Johnson warned against what some people were calling ?cut and run.? He disdained antiwar Democrats?like his nemesis, Sen. Robert Kennedy of New York?for turning ?on their leader and on their country and on their own fighting men.?

Clip Source: www.msnbc.msn.com

Six years later, besieged by the Iran-contra scandal, Reagan appointed a bipartisan group headed by Texas Republican Sen. John Tower to suggest how to revise White House management to exclude the future possibility of unauthorized covert operations. By promptly accepting the Tower Commission?s wise recommendations and admitting his mistakes, Reagan helped to save his presidency.

One reason the Tower findings were so briskly accepted was the expertise of the commission?s staff director, who knew how important it was for the president to take its report seriously. This was a young lawyer named Stephen Hadley, who has gone on to become President Bush?s national-security adviser. We are now about to see whether Hadley will take the same approach now that he is on the inside of the White House.

The formula for the perfect website

clipped by: minhdang

Clip Source: www.xing.com

Great question, Bengt. I agree that perfect is in the eyes of the browser. What if you deliver content on one site in a number of ways for various preferences?

Bob Bly (bly.com) wrote a book called The Online Copywriters Handbook (McGraw Hill, 2002) and included a section on writing copy to "Fit the Buyers Mood and Intent."

Bly defines various browsing styles along with tips for layout. Heres a selection of Blys advice for reaching browsers with different preferences:

"Artist... text in digestible chunks"
"Writer... list(s) of words" fast downloads
"Explorer... plenty of content"

"Seeker... one-click access to what they want"

For others, see Blys book, which is useful.

Of course, there are other "cornerstones of usability" but Blys approach raises another question: If you design for different browser styles in your attempt to please a broader audience what happens to the concept of "perfect"? In other words, if perfect is possible, is it only possible in the narrowest of niches?

Best,

Howell

Phased withdrawal = Phased Death

clipped by: diodisegno
clippers remarks: Why cant we make the right calls?

Clip Source: www.commondreams.org

Beware the Lure of Phased Withdrawal
Nixon tried it in Vietnam, once most agreed the war was lost, and it cost 20,000 U.S. lives

In his rigidity, Bush sounds eerily like President Lyndon Johnson, who could not acknowledge until too late his Vietnam policy was in shambles. But in the aftermath of the midterm elections, the calls for "phased withdrawal" - coming out of Congress, the Pentagon and the leaky Iraq Study Group - evoke errors of the Nixon years.

In the face of these realities, U.S. officials might have opted to cut losses and bring the troops home. Despite an electoral mandate for peace in the 1968 election, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger embarked on a gradual withdrawal, which took four years and allowed them to continue the attack. While they tarried, another 20,000 Americans were killed and 100,000 wounded, three Asian nations were devastated and some 1 million to 2 million people perished. For all the ink spilled on the subject of Vietnam, our society has never come to terms with this latter phase of the war. How could we allow so many people to die?

There is no single answer. For any nation, defeat is bitter. There was a belligerent commander-in-chief, a national security adviser whose need for power trumped common sense, a covey of bureaucrats too timid to tell us what they knew, an overblown military incapable of renouncing war, a Congress afraid to cut funds, a distractible public easily tricked.

How odd that in our political culture, an official willing to sacrifice lives for a doomed project is deemed more "realistic" than one who objects. George McGovern, former senator and presidential candidate, is rarely asked for advice.

My Bro-in-law is a REAL war hero

clippers remarks: My brother-in-law lives with me & my wife. He has never really talked much about his Vietnam experiences. Recently he started posting on our family site some of his memories of the war. He is a decorated retired marine and a real war hero.

I remember the Day and that Night

See other photo with me and Sgt Hadden and Lieutenant Browman

for part of the description of our day.

That day I went once again from platoon sergeant to Platoon Commander. That night, over the Radio at the Company Commanders meeting Lt. Skroch and the Battalion Commander discussed whether to write me up for a Navy Cross Medal, Silver Star or a Combat Commission to 2d Lietenant, they finally agreed on a Combat Promotion to Staff Sergeant and a medal, Vietnamese Cross of Gallentry with the Bronze Star Device...

Most important, I was allow to stay on as the Platoon Commander until our Colonel could get a new replacement Lieutenant...

Years later, I talked with Lt Skroch, then a FBI agent.... He remarked, " ... everytime, I have thoughts of Vietnam, I always remember, your voice on the Radio to me, with all the explosions, and bullets flying,... you were calm, and new exactly what you needed to do"

cooked dog is Thit Cho

clipped by: thegreenman

Clip Source: www.plantdelights.com

We returned to the hotel around 4pm, and most of the group headed off to the market where the group got to see firsthand how the Vietnamese prepare dog for consumption. We had learned early in the trip that the word for cooked dog is Thit Cho. It was not unusual to see the strange juxtaposition of pet dogs sitting by the Thit Cho signs or watching their brothers being prepared. We can only imagine what the numerous signs advertising Bun Thit Cho might mean....doggie burgers.? It was quite surreal to see dogs watching anxiously as their relatives were carved up for a meal. As you can imagine, we carefully avoided any eating establishment with Thit Cho on the menu. If you have a queasy stomach, do not look at these photos.

Pat Conroy reflects on Vietnam and the military

clipped by: vidbidness
clippers remarks: Deeply moving. Click to read the entire essay.

Clip Source: dailyadultjoke.com

As I lay sleepless, I realized I?d done all this research to better understand my country. I now revere words like democracy, freedom, the right to vote, and the grandeur of the extraordinary vision of the founding fathers. Do I see America?s flaws? Of course. But I now can honor her basic, incorruptible virtues, the ones that let me walk the streets screaming my ass off that my country had no idea what it was doing in South Vietnam. My country let me scream to my heart?s content - the same country that produced both Al Kroboth and me.

But in the 25 years that have passed since South Vietnam fell, I have immersed myself in the study of totalitarianism during the unspeakable century we just left behind. I have questioned survivors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, talked to Italians who told me tales of the Nazi occupation, French partisans who had counted German tanks in the forests of Normandy, and officers who survived the Bataan Death March. I quiz journalists returning from wars in Bosnia, the Sudan, the Congo, Angola, Indonesia, Guatemala, San Salvador, Chile, Northern Ireland, Algeria.

It was that same long night, after listening to Al?s story, that I began to make judgments about how I had conducted myself during the Vietnam War. In the darkness of the sleeping Kroboth household, lying in the third-floor guest bedroom, I began to assess my role as a citizen in the ?60s, when my country called my name and I shot her the bird. Unlike the stupid boys who wrapped themselves in Viet Cong flags and burned the American one, I knew how to demonstrate against the war without flirting with treason or astonishingly bad taste. I had come directly from the warrior culture of this country and I knew how to act.

Bunch Of Commies Running New York times

Former President Lyndon Johnson talks of Vietnam War on newly released tapes

The Associated Press

Published: November 17, 2006

AUSTIN, Texas: As American involvement in Vietnam deepened, President Lyndon Johnson criticized the "bunch of commies" running The New York Times and complained about the newspapers criticism of the war, according to newly released recordings of phone conversations.

The recordings, released Friday by the LBJ Library, covered August to December 1966. Johnson had many of his calls from the Oval Office and his Texas ranch recorded.

In a discussion about the war with former President Dwight Eisenhower, Johnson said he was "trying to win it just as fast as I can in every way that I know how." He added: "I need all the help I can get."

In another conversation, Johnson blasted the "commies" he said ran the Times.

"They want to get out of Vietnam and yield it to them, and I dont think I can quite do that," he said.

At the time, as Defense Secretary Robert McNamara reported, there were 400,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam.

In another conversation, McNamara suggested waiting until after the midterm elections to announce a cap on the U.S. troop commitment in Vietnam. Johnson said little.

Johnson asked McNamara about the defense budget and supply shortages. McNamara said there were plenty of bombs ? 265,000 tons (241,000 metric tons) of them, either in Southeast Asia or on the way.

"Frankly, were going to just snow the place under with bombs," McNamara said. "And Im doing it purposely to make them cry, Stop."

Vietnam

clipped by: suigeneris
clippers remarks: travel,vietnam

Clip Source: www.accomline.com

Vietnam is a country of sublime natural beauty from the Red River Delta in the north, to the Mekong Delta in the south. This is complimented by divine coastal beaches and with soaring mountains inland.

The capital Hanoi boasts a charming French Quarter as well as the exquisite Presidential Palace. The conservative city offers an excellent combination of history and cuisine, as well as a more gentle insight into Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh City, previously known as Saigon, is Vietnams largest city and economic powerhouse. War museums are grippingly absorbing and the infamous Cu Chi tunnel network is within easy day tripping reach.

Although Vietnam?s climate varies notably from North to South, generally speaking the country is accessible all year round.

Its narrow central regions have three UNESCO protected sites. The little town of Hoi An is a unique pocket of old French streets, especially charming by night. Beyond Hues city walls the woods contain dozens of imperial tombs. In the north lies the poetic rocky limestone outcrops of Halong Bay - stunning natural beauty.

Why use online services like Writely

clipped by: minhdang
clippers remarks: - Aims and potential users of a new service.
- Online services serve highly flexible users, not rigid corporates.

Clip Source: googlewatch.eweek.com

Im a professional writer. I have used Writely Writely since it became available, long before Google purchased it, in preference to MS Word for everything except final editing. I do prefer Word for that, because all the editors I work with use it. But let me tell you, when you travel, use several different computers in addition to your laptop, and can go online and have all your work in front of you exactly as you left it at the last stop, you realize that online applications are a goldmine.

Along with that, I cant tell you what a pleasure it is to be able to travel without worrying that your livelihood is in that verrry identifiable bag, just waiting to be ripped off. Go ahead; steal my ThinkPad. Theres not much of value on it, and its insured.

Im never impressed by the opinions of people who evaluate things without considering the conditions theyre designed for. It shows an insularity that isnt consistent with the reality of the Web and computing today.

Primary Documents from the Phoenix program

clippers remarks: A little something from the memory hole

Clip Source: www.thememoryhole.org

Documents from the Phoenix Program

>>> Created by the CIA in Saigon in 1967, Phoenix was a program aimed at "neutralizing"?through assassination, kidnapping, and systematic torture?the civilian infrastructure that supported the Viet Cong insurgency in South Vietnam. It was a terrifying "final solution" that violated the Geneva Conventions and traditional American ideas of human morality. (For a full introduction to Phoenix, see below.)

While researching the Phoenix Program for my book on the subject, I conducted over a hundred interviews and collected boxes full of documents from individuals, as well as from the State Department and Department of Defense. The most important documents provided by any one individual came from retired CIA officer Nelson Brickham, the man most responsibile for the creation of the Phoenix Program.

Administration OK With Iraq-Tet Offensive Comparisons

Thursday, October 19, 2006

WASHINGTON�?� On the campaign trail in Pennsylvania Thursday, President Bush insisted pulling out of Iraq now would be a victory for terrorists like Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden.

But the presidents comments in an interview with ABC Wednesday garnered most of the news coverage. In the interview with This Weeks George Stephanopolous, Bush was asked about writer Thomas Friedmans column in The New York Times in which Friedman wrote that the recent spike in violence in Iraq might be the Iraqi equivalent to the 1968 Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War.

"What were seeing there seems like the jihadist equivalent of the Tet offensive," Friedman wrote, adding that jihadist Web sites frequently state how it is critical that the media war parallel the armed effort.

Asked whether he agreed with Friedmans summary, Bush said, "He could be right. ... Theres certainly a stepped-up level of violence, and were heading into an election."

Bush said he thinks terrorists in Iraq think if they inflict enough damage then U.S. forces would leave.

"They believe that if they can create enough chaos, the American people will grow sick and tired of the Iraqi effort," Bush said.

The 1968 Tet Offensive is seen by most historians as a critical juncture in the Vietnam War. The attack did serious damage to public support for the war and for President Lyndon Johnson even though it was a major routing of the enemys troops.

Partisans suggest it may not be the comparison Bush wants to make.

"I dont think the president is well-served when he compares something in Iraq going on to the Tet Offensive because we all remember the Tet Offensive was a turning point when we recognized, when the American people recognized that we werent going to win the war in Vietnam," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Bipolar Disorder: Americas Schizophrenic View of Warfare (Josh Manchester)

clipped by: Kore7
clippers remarks:

The result of these two national experiences is that warfare exists along a one-dimensional axis for most Americans. World War II exists as the positive terminal of this circuit, and Vietnam as the negative; the tendency then is to reinforce the one, while eschewing the other.

Bipolar Disorder: Americas Schizophrenic View of Warfare

By Josh Manchester : BIO| 30 Aug 2006

vienam-iwojima

Our attempts to compare every conflict to World War II or Vietnam hinder our ability to fight different kinds of wars, including the current one.

In the pantheon of American warfare, no conflict garners as much popular admiration as the Second World War, which holds the title of ideal war. Consider:

The campaigns in both Europe and the Pacific were largely conventional affairs, leading to decisive victories
The nation was largely unified in the wars prosecution; politics ended "at the waters edge"
The entire country was put in uniform; everyone served in some way or another, whether in the infantry, at sea, or in factories at home
The economy was militarized; the entire resources of the country went toward the war effort
The result was unconditional surrender; and yet the victors made allies of the vanquished.

Whereas World War II is the gold standard for US warfare in most Americans reckoning, the specter of Vietnam forever haunts our every move in any conflict that does not appear to resemble World War II. In Vietnam:

Conventionally fought battles never seemed to result in sustainable progress
The nation was divided as it had not been since the Civil War
Only volunteers and those drafted were sent to Vietnam; the National Guard was never mobilized, and draft deferments galore were available for a variety of reasons
The result was a qualified defeat; a hollowing out of the US military; a loss of confidence in US commitments abroad; and various forms of outrage that continue to affect a number of Baby Boomers today.

"Psychological motives of belligerent, chest-beating warmongers"

clipped by: Kore7
clippers remarks: Digby, clipped from Glenn Greenwalds blog, with some insightful points, I think.

Neoconservative author Francis Fukuyama felt that with the fall of our last great opponent at the end of the Cold War (see Pax Americana), American men were doomed to fail to live up to the Western-Frontier-era ideal of masculinity. In other words, peace is for wussies. This idea worried him so much that he wrote an entire book on the subject ? The End of History and the Last Man ? which was held by an important few warmongers in Washington to be the perfect moral prescription to find new enemies with which to wage continuous war.

You simply cannot be a warrior if you are not willing to fight. This, I think, is deeply understood by people at a primitive level and all cultures have some version of it deeply embedded in the DNA. Its not just the willingness to die it also involves the willingness to kill. Men who went to Vietnam and faced their fears of killing and dying, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, put themselves to this test.

And then there were the chickenhawks. They were neither part of the revolution nor did they take the obvious step of volunteering to fight the war they supported. Indeed, due to the draft, they allowed others to fight and die in their place despite the fact that they believed heartily that the best response to communism was to aggressively fight it "over there" so we wouldnt have to fight it here. These were empty boys, unwilling to put themselves on the line at the moment of truth, yet they held the masculine virtues as the highest form of human experience and have portrayed themselves ever since as tough, uncompromising manly men while portraying liberals as weak and effeminate. . . .

The only political aspirants among those three groups who failed to meet the test of their generation were the chickenhawks. And our problem today is that they are the ones in charge of the government as we face a national security threat. These unfulfilled men still have something to prove.

Swift Boat Leader Responds to John Kerry

clipped by: BitDrifter

Clip Source: www.humanevents.com

John Kerry recently volunteered that he was prepared to ?kick [the Swift Boat Veterans?] ass from one end of America to the other? and that he would ?demolish? us.� He ought to take a Christmas cruise to Cambodia to calm down.� Maybe he could take a side trip to tour ?Genghis Khan? ruins.

It is a little difficult to imagine Kerry (?I voted for it before I voted against it?) kicking the most decorated living serviceman, Bud Day, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, or our salty commander, Adm. Roy Hoffman, anywhere.� Perhaps Kerry had in mind using a ?Rice Fanny Grenade? as he did by mistake on himself shortly before leaving Vietnam.� If so, based on the record, he is in far more danger than anyone else.

Kerry and his friends certainly seem to show much greater anger and hatred toward us than toward the murderous al Qaeda terrorists. This is actually a positive thing.� Based on his record of switching to adopt the North Vietnamese position in 1971 and (after voting to send our kids to Iraq) proposing to cut and run in Iraq, it is likely that Kerry will be endorsing our positions by 2008 and (in his words) ?Swift Boating? himself. If not, it is OK.� After living for 34 years with his claim that our comrades, living and dead, were like the army of Genghis Khan, we will always remember and be grateful for the support of the American people in 2004.� Nothing he will ever say can demolish that or will speak nearly so loudly.

The Psychological Risks of Vietnam for U.S. Veterans: A Revisit with New Data and Methods

In 1988, the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS)of a representative sample of 1200 veterans estimated that 30.9%had developed posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during theirlifetimes and that 15.2% were currently suffering from PTSD.The study also found a strong dose-response relationship: Asretrospective reports of combat exposure increased, PTSD occurrenceincreased. Skeptics have argued that these results are inflatedby recall bias and other flaws. We used military records toconstruct a new exposure measure and to cross-check exposurereports in diagnoses of 260 NVVRS veterans. We found littleevidence of falsification, an even stronger dose-response relationship,and psychological costs that were lower than previously estimatedbut still substantial. According to our fully adjusted PTSDrates, 18.7% of the veterans had developed war-related PTSDduring their lifetimes and 9.1% were currently suffering fromPTSD 11 to 12 years after the war; current PTSD was typicallyassociated with moderate impairment.

Robber hid for 20 years as policeman

HANOI (Reuters) - A convicted Vietnamese robber who escaped from prison 20 years ago chose a sly way to hide from the law -- inside the police force and as a member of the ruling Communist Party.

A police newspaper reported Friday that Ngo Thanh Tam, 51, was re-arrested Tuesday, two decades after joining the police under a false identity in the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong.

The An Ninh Thu Do (Capital Security) newspaper described Tam as a "dangerous criminal" on the national wanted list. After his arrest he was purged from the party, which he joined in June.

Military covered up prisoner abuses in Vietnam war, attacked whistleblower

A Tortured Past

Documents show troops who reported abuse in Vietnam were discredited even as the military was finding evidence of worse.

August 20, 2006

In early 1973, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Creighton Abrams received some bad news from the services chief of criminal investigations.

An internal inquiry had confirmed an officers widely publicized charge that members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade had tortured detainees in Vietnam.

But there was a silver lining: Investigators had also compiled a 53-page catalog of alleged discrepancies in retired Lt. Col. Anthony B. Herberts public accounts of his war experiences.

"This package ? provides sufficient material to impeach this mans credibility; should this need arise, I volunteer for the task," wrote Col. Henry H. Tufts, commander of the Armys Criminal Investigation Division.

Now, declassified records show that while the Army was working energetically to discredit Herbert, military investigators were uncovering torture and mistreatment that went well beyond what he had described.

The abuses were not made public, and few of the wrongdoers were punished.

Fourteen received prison sentences ranging from six months to 20 years, but most won significant reductions on appeal. The stiffest sentence went to a military intelligence interrogator convicted of committing indecent acts on a 13-year-old girl in an interrogation hut in 1967.

He served seven months of a 20-year term, the records show.

The YouTube War - American Soldiers Speak out on Iraq

The YouTube War

American soldiers are telling their story of the Iraq war in homemade videos. And the picture isnt any brighter

Posted Wednesday, Jul. 19, 2006
The National Guardsman in the frame looks grim. His bunkmates are cutting up a bit, clowning for the camera. The cameraman tries to coax some action out the unwilling documentary subject, who refuses: "Im not supposed to talk to the media," he says. You can hear the insults sting in the cameramans shouted protest: "Im not the media! Im not the media!" The sharp denial reflects a key collateral campaign in the Iraq war: to keep soldiers strictly on message.

But theres no question that the soldier behind the camera in "The War Tapes" is part of this wars media. Just as Vietnam had been Americas first "living-room war," spilling carnage in dinnertime news broadcasts, so is the Iraq conflict emerging as the first YouTube war. Growing up in a world where they can swap MP3s as well as intimate details about their lives via MySpace or Facebook, American soldiers are swapping their Iraq experience as well. Theres a byte-enabled intimacy to "The War Tapes," the film that bills itself as the first documentary about the war filmed by those fighting it. Critics of the mainstream medias war coverage might hope that the soldiers unmediated view would be a more positive one. Vice President Cheney complained last March that the publics dwindling support for the war was due to the "perception that whats newsworthy is the car bomb in Baghdad," rather than what success has been had "in terms of making progress towards rebuilding Iraq." Talk show host Laura Ingraham encouraged those covering Iraq to "talk to those soldiers on the ground" in order to get a sense of all the good things happening there that should be "celebrated." By that logic, putting cameras in the hands of those soldiers on the ground should provide enough celebration for an "Up with Iraq" musical.
