    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sitting as guest of honor at a dinner marking a new era of friendship between his country and the United States, Vietnam's prime minister got a stark reminder of the divisiveness that lingers a generation after the war ended.

    "That's life," visiting Prime Minister Phan Van Khai muttered after security officers hustled a balding, shouting protester believed to be a Vietnam veteran away from the head table.

    This is inspiring. If John McCain can refrain himself from spewing "g**k" in his conversation to Vietcong leader, maybe I need to learn not to bash Dubya every time an occasion rises.

    Somehow I suspect that bald guy's action was staged.

    30 years is more then enough time to let the anger fade away.

    That means I have at least 30 more years to keep bashing Dubya? :p

    Would you think 25 years is long enough? Apparently not so according to McCain (http://www.commondreams.org/views/030200-104.htm). People should remind themselves John McCain is a fine politician.

    It's McCain's own fault. If he hadn't fathered an illegitimate black baby and let his wife deal drugs to children, then he'd have the moral high-ground that would deter attacks like this.
