It should be clear to any realistic observer of politics in Indochina that the Communist Party and the Socialist Republic have failed Vietnam and the Vietnamese people in a dramatic way. When Ho Chi Minh enticed the peasants to join his guerilla army he promised them a future in which the people would rule, where they would be free, living in uniform happiness in a communal paradise. What he delivered though was a nation ruled by the Party elite, with no freedoms, no civil rights and no personal liberty. Vietnam was robbed of its ancient heritage and forced to accept the culture of communism. Instead of a socialist paradise they have obtained only poverty, hunger and misery. These facts have become so clear and brutal that even many of the Communist Party's most ardent supporters are admitting that they have failed.

Only a short time after conquering the government in South Vietnam the communist regime in Hanoi fought a war against the People's Republic of China. They claimed to be defending Vietnam from Chinese invasion as so often happened in history. However, in recent years the Hanoi regime has given up Vietnamese territory in the north to China, freely handing over the sacred ground for which so many Vietnamese have died over the centuries. It was this outrage which caused the famous writer Nguyen Vu Binh to criticize the socialist government. What should be pointed out is that Nguyen Vu Binh was a former writer for the Communist Party Journal, but at last even he was forced to see the truth that the regime was selling out to China.

There have been many other such examples. In 1990, the leading Communist official Tran Bach Dang told the author Stanley Karnow, "Our belief in a Communist utopia had nothing to do with reality. We tried to build a new society on theories and dreams--on sand. Instead of stimulating production by giving people incentives, we collectivized them. Imagine! We even collectivized barbers. It was preposterous. We were also consumed by vanity. Because we crushed the Americans, we thought we could achieve anything. We should have heeded the old Chinese adage: 'You can conquer a country from horseback, but you cannot govern it from horseback.'" Finally the Communists must look their failure in the face and confess their mistakes.

In a similar confession the unrepentant but realistic Dr. Duong Quynh Hoa, a high leader in the VietMinh, told the same author, "I have been a Communist all my life, but now I've seen the realities of Communism, and it is a failure--mismanagement, corruption, privilege, repression. My ideals are gone." In a later meeting she voiced the same outrage saying, "Communism has been catastrophic. Party officials have never understood the need for rational development. They've been hypnotized by Marxist slogans that have lost validity--if they ever were valid. They are outrageous." Few people deny that if Dr. Hoa had not been such a famous figure from the war against America she would have been arrested for making such statements. Even the famous Colonel Bui Tin, deputy editor of the Communist Party newspaper was forced by his conscience to confess the failure of Communism and the Socialist Republican government in Hanoi.

Colonel Bui Tin in particular pointed out the most alarming problems for Vietnam in his "citizen's petition". He said, "There is an alarming deterioration of traditional ethical, moral and spiritual values (and) confusion among the youth on whom the country's future depends." Remember that this man once fought for the vision of Marxism and Ho Chi Minh, and even he was forced to see the error of his youthful judgment. The same government he fought to create he now attacked as, "Bureaucracy, irresponsibility, egotism, corruption and fraud are becoming entrenched under an insolent reign of privileges and prerogatives," It is those exact same traditional values, ethical, moral and spiritual, which the Nguyen Dynasty and the Vietnamese Constitutional Monarchist League are determined to see restored and defended, so that the youth of Vietnam might have a better understanding of their nation and its cultural roots.

Looking at the world at large, and the many crimes of the Vietnamese Communist Party, all free people must condemn a government that allows such things to happen. There should be no place in the modern world for such tyranny, oppression and disregard for human dignity. If even the awakened members of the Communist Party can see their mistakes and voice their protests, surely the other free Vietnamese of the world must take the same step and join with the voice of the Great Nguyen Dynasty in calling for the end of dictatorship and the establishment of a new democratic government, based on Vietnamese traditions, that will assure the rights of its people and hold government officials accountable to those who elected them.

"When we are not devoted to serve the People, we cannot have the right to ask for the favors from the nation."

As one takes a stab at condemning communism of depriving Vietnamese of their traditional values, deeming the ideology a foreign, unoriginal one, it seems petrifying that one ignores completely the analogy that one could apply with its antonym, democracy. With careful scrunity it isn't too unthinkable to realize that every moral standpoint stripped away by Communism can be sensibly juxtaposed along side another that is jeopardized by Democracy. As communism takes away love and responsibility between human beings and rechannel them into the common cause (as its attackers so fervently believe even though actual evidences suggest otherwise), democracy--backed by its descriptor: consumerism--throws these two virtues out the back door to promote self-interest, selfishness, and cruelty. As communism diminishes generational respects--familial relationships are of minimal importance as compared to the cause--democracy opts for the more convenient--to put away and let rot in their own aging vanity those who are no longer fit for the cycle of supply and demand. As communism restricts freedom and pushes for humility and faith, deomcracy deems the heart inconceivably redundant and works everything from a logical 'first come first server' viewpoint. As communists lives life ad hog and resilient, democrats shout Cogito ergo sum on a daily basis and jump up in muscular spasm everytime their coffee is too hot, their bread stale, and their toilet clogged.

Two contrasting forces in one world, bound to annihilate one another. Yet it so occurs that history is fond of two-pronged ideas, and we are not disappointed. At the death of the USSR, the last stronghold of pure communism, the world witnesses the birth of a new force, unimaginably evil by democracy's standard, yet legitimate on its own ground. The force is capable of bringing down the democratic ideology in one strike, an impressive statistic that communism can only dream of achieving. Its existence is so belligerent that democracy was immediately put on its knee and out for watch. Its perpetrators are filled with an undying light of faith that conclusively topples Marxist's Utopia. Its form is undepictable, for it fluctuates from distinct acts gripped with deadliness and precision, to instantaneous flashes into nothingness. Its substance, for the first time since the days of Hitler, is inconceivably horrifying.

And once again, the world was put in balance, the game in check, globalization to a screeching halt. In the midst of all this chaos and confusion, I urge you all to take a step forward to charge through the cloud that clogs your mind and see the world as it is. Communism has turned into democracy, and democracy, on its turn, into terrorism. The fight for equality and the hypocritical chants of "freedom forever" are no longer legitimate. Can you possibly imagine, America was willing to put in danger the lives of some twenty millions Iraqis because somebody vaguely ressemblant to Saddam Hussein has slain three thousand Americans for the first time in its proudly-proclaimed history? America uses "security" and its filthy Patriot Act as pretexts to commit crimes of magnitude comparable to the Holocausts in broad daylight and in the face of the peaceful and brotherly world we are all proud of. America possesses bombs and gases banned by international laws and its own, a reality merely ridiculous to any six-year-old kids who learn about fairness in first-grade, yet perfectly ok under American eyes. America is willing to impose violence upon other nations without their consent, and yet Vietnam isn't allowed to put away a few myopic individuals thinking themselves too smart in the course of grand eternity? What kind of a sick world do we live in?

If anybody can feel my angst and mistrust of this so-called peacekeeping administration, please tell me which should I resort to, insanity of self-extermination?
