Thorns in the Heart I

             " Yes, I guess it...   After Mr. Diem died, I saw more American's
         troops coming in Vietnam, the war broke up anywhere therefore too
         many young men died on the battlefield, so many people were died
         by  Viet-Cong's  rockets,  which  fired  into  the  cities,  economic  crisis,
         more  people  poor  and  hungry,  more  generals  receive  a  bribe  and
         rely on their powers to be rich more than before, Why ? "  Phuong
         asked.

             After a moment of thinking, Nguyen explained:

             "  Former  president  Diem  understood  about  this  situation,  he
         knew that

             If he lets the foreigner's troops coming in Vietnam, they will die
         in this war and stuck with it, and everything of our life will be mix up
         and turn upside down, because the true life, education, and moral
         were different between two societies of too freedom and freedom in
         limit  of  our  country,  because  we  are  a  country  of  war,  heavy  of
         religion, and some area of society was undeveloped, we could not
         change by one night to be with them. The principle of the economic
         and  political  crisis  was  the  foreigner's  interfere  policies  into  our
         government,  the  foreigner's  dirty  politicians  want  our  society
         breaking up anything since they can control our leaders.  Therefore
         Mr.  Diem  limited  the  interfere  policies  to  his  cabinet,  and  the
         foreigner's troops move into our country. He wanted the foreigner's
         policies of the superpower nations supporting him their equipment,
         guns, money and be the true main of good friends. He will fight Viet-
         Cong to block the invasion of Vietminh, and built up our country by
         Vietnamese who love freedom and peace after he died by the set up
         of the foreigner superpower nation. "


             " Who was made a set up to kill him? "   Phuong interrupted.

             "  You  may  have  this  question  on  President  Johnson  and  Mr.
         Henry Cabot Lodge, who was President and embassy of American at
         that time. "

             Nguyen looked at Phuong, sighed and continued:
