Interesting parallel

Interesting perspective for the elections in Iraq. Also interesting personal perspective, almost 40 years later we have an entourage of Vietnamese economic representative in the office trying to promote business in the country.

New York Times exerpt September 4, 1967

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3 United States officials were surprised and heartened today at the size of turnout in South Vietnam's presidential election despite a Vietcong terrorist campaign to disrupt the voting.

It does give hope to the present situation. Let's all pray for a significant decrease in terrorist activity soon! love, N
