"Nguyen doesn't listen to your mom...! Viet-Cong was Viet-Cong!
They never change a bit. They learned for cheating, to devastate, to
kill to put the yoke on the people's neck and the people will be their
slaves. How can they change? If they were going to change they will
die very soon, and no more Viet-Cong...!" Nguyen father interrupted
his mother and said.

"Father. I think they must change the way they do now. If they
don't think of the people to reform they will die also."

"No. It was my experience. I was tortured until exhausted by
Viet-Cong. I had seen their instruments of torture and survived in
their prison...!" In the hard voice, he said.

Nguyen looked at his father.

"Yes...! I understood about your situation at that time, but this
time was the difference," Nguyen said.

"No. There is nothing different for Viet-Cong...! They had said
they could kill wrong about 100 people to find out the one, who was
resisting them. Viet-Cong tortured their victim to confess with what
they wanted their victim to be." He looked at Nguyen, shook his
head and sighed.

"You said you understood about Vietnamese's Viet-Cong! But
you were still blind...! A lot of South Vietnam's people were like you
now! I still remembered After World War II and French colonialism
came back to Vietnam. Vietnam Communist party invited all of the
Nationalism parties for United to resist French colonizers. The new
organization called the Vietnam Independence League or Viet-Minh,
its leadership was mainly Vietnamese Communist. Then about 300 of
the National parties leader were killed on the bank of Hallais lake,
and about 60 another were chopped their heads at the Officer
Center on On-Nhu-Hau street in Hanoi capital by Viet-Minh, and it
causes great consternation to the people of Hanoi capital at that
time!" Nguyen father said.
