Bush finally goes to Vietnam
Our most incurious President has finally landed in Vietnam, the country he was quite desperate to avoid visiting in the 1960s when the Indochina War was raging. The New York Times reports that Bush has shown little interest in meeting the Vietnamese people or in doing anything outside the script his handlers prepared for him. Why? Has Karl Rove determined that showing friendliness to the Vietnamese would offend the religious right, or perhaps the Swift Boat bitter enders who believe the war could have been won?
Or perhaps he was determined not to do anything in Vietnam that the Great Satan, aka Bill Clinton, did during his Presidential visit. Any way you cut it, Bush is an embarassment to the United States.
