[Vnbiz] a few McCain achievements for Vietnam

Wed Feb 27 07:26:36 PST 2008

Hi CACC,
   I am not an American nor a Vietnamese citizen, so I have no rights to 
a vote in either country (or an opinion - I believe only those who 
actively vote should voice their opinions. No vote = 'Close your mouth!')

   However, I was an analyst for quite a few years, so I like making 
predictions (now that there are no lives resting on these predictions):

McCain for one term only, followed by Obama!

   No evidence yet, but I strongly suspect that far-sighted Governments 
and political machines in Asia are already considering having to 
"factor-in" Obama in the future.

Just my 350VND worth.

Bush 's father did not make the mistake in Iraq  as his son did due arrogance. It all boils down to  experiences learned by the hard way . Based on FACTS, my democrat VOTE will go to McCain regardless of Clinton or Obama.
