I have a question in relation to China and Mao Tse-Tsung.

With the onset of the Olympics in China, I saw a huge banner displaying the face of Mao Tse-Tsung (on TV). This got me thinking.

I know some Chinese revere him as some revile him. No doubt about it, this guy was a monster and under his rule, millions of Chinese starved to death (as well as other atrocities that he committed).

What individual do you think would be a better substitute (to drape a picture depicting him/her near the Forbidden Palace)?

*Sun Yat-Sen
*Confucius
*Qin Shin Huang Di
*Sun Tzu
*Lao Tzu
*Chiang Kai-Shek

Or do you have a different person in mind that you think better represents China's rich and beautiful history?

Better no one because the cult of personality is always dangerous. If a substitute is really necessary, probably Sun Yat Sen as a symbol of political unity.
Another character could only be a literary or semi literary one, ( a Liu Bei, or a Zhu ge Liang or even Song Jiang).
Instead, there could be something symbolic dedicated to the million women who contributed to make China and were often neglected

Did the Us Government hire Thai people during Vietnam to work as tunnel rats?

Some guy came up to me and said he worked in NKP as a tunnel rat for the US Army in Vietnam. He was old enough and spoke some English but he seemed to be hitting the lao-lao pretty hard.
Well you know NKP was a secret base.

The NVA and VC did construct a lot of tunnel networks and since they were "slightly smaller" than most US GI's the tunnels were a little narrow in some places. It would make sense to use the smallest guy to crawl in to investigate or set some charges.

I don't remember reading or personally seeing any Thai's in the US employ for this particular job. Thai troops were in Nam but my best guess that they did their own tunnel exploring and the US did their own exploring! There were always joint type missions, I guess it would be prudent to use what ever particular resources available to get the job done.

Interesting question, right up there with Air America, Nung Guards, Biet Hai, "Chu Hois" and various Montagnard/Hmong forces.

Any Suggestions for Lao or Laotian Boy Names?

I am a white girl married to a Lao guy and I am 9 months pregnant and we are desperately searching for a name for our soon to be born baby boy! We have our hearts set on a traditional Lao name but have yet to agree on anything. If anyone can help me out with some suggestions I would be very grateful!

Well, I like my friend's name Syha. It means lion. It has a nice ring to it.
I also like Niran which means eternal, but that may be Thai? I don't know.

Where was the so-called second front of the Vietnam War?

a. Laos, where the Laotian king committed troops to aid the North Vietnamese forces.
b. The United States, where President Nixon had to contend with rising opposition to
the war.
c. China, where President Nixon sent American forces to stop North Vietnamese
troops invading from the south.
d. The United Nations, where the president had to contend with loud condemnation of
the brutal way in which he was waging the war.

b.
Nightly TV news broadcasts into American homes led to a rise in domestic opposition to the war that hamstrung US attempts to prosecute it effectively.
