Hmong is the only group defense freedom over 30 year you and I need to honor them. I believe you are not been in USA over 25 year and educated in US. Your philosophy is not educate in US, you are educated in Vietnam or the old Soviet Union. Your statement is from communist phiplosophy. The former CIA troop who still hide in the jungle have done nothing to cause damage toward your family, you might send your family member to fight them, that is your problem to kill them. They hide in the Jungle seek peace, freedom, and democracy, why you go kill them?

Laog2000, you are not respect Gen. Vang Pao, and not really know him well. You should not call "Mr. Pao" you must call "Mr. Vang" Vang is his last name, I know that you speak on behalf of the communist Lao People Revolutionary word, and you are sound from that party member. The United States and Gen. Vang Pao fight the secret war in Lao during Vietnam War is to prevent communist take over Southeast Asian Nation like Laos, South Vietnam, and Cambodia. It is tooo bad the US pull out their troops and advisors from Laos and Vietnam follow the treaty in Paris and Geneva. Communist Vietnam voilet the treaty by not pull their troop out from Laos. Fight a war both side have the right to used ther weapon to win a war, so don't blame one side only, we need to blame both side. Communist kill my brother and use chemical to kill lao people. Communist control the country over 30 years, people live in the way of live in 1970, govt office have NO TOILET paper, the wall sooo dirty not new paint. Please Blame Both Side Not only one side... God Bless All Lao Poeple and the People who care and work for peace and freedom in Laos.

Current Lao govt is poorest, it depend 80 percent budget from international coomunity to help. Current Lao govt is very poorest, govt offices had NO TOILET papers, and the wall are sooo dirty in Xiengkhoung Province Police Stattion. Change really need in Laos, Laos must follow other free country who let their peole enjoy to live and seek for better live. Current Lao govt let Lao people live in poorest live, ethinic Hmong and other group are living in poorest condition, poorest sanitation, drink bad water, we need CHANGE......

HmongStockton, since Gen Vang and the US CIA allie fight for freedom in Secret War in Laos help the US govt during Vietnam War. VP and his soildier save thousnad of US pilots and troops. Without VP and his troop help US will lost more troops. No matter Hmong and other Lao in the right side I believe Hmong and Lao on the Right can run the Country of Laos better. Bring Capitalist and Democratic into Laos will be more better to Lao people. Why, because, it will bring more business, free speech, free of religion, better education, free assemby, press so all Lao people can enjoy their live. So if your poorest current communist can run the Country of Laos, I believe that Hmong and any one can also run the country of Laos. I'm tire of Communist Rule in this planet...sick of tire of communist....dictatorship rules...

HmongStockton, I'm sure that you are not Hmong. You are from the communist Lao Party the Lao People Revelutionary Party member. Your statement are not true and oposite from your communist run the country now. Current LaoPDR communist are curruption, poorest, and depend 80 percent budget from internation assistance. Your stalist dictator LaoPDR communist govt can't do any thing to develop the country and help the Lao people. You communist LaoPDR sell land to China, and other countries to build home, take Lao gold, silver, copper, eletricity and lumber away from Laos. Communist LaoPDR never respect Human Right, Free Speech, Press, Assembly. Communist LaoPDR treat Hmong and other enthic lowest unequal, and you communist truly CORRUPTION. Gen. Vang Pao and his team work for peace, freedom and democracy.
