 The flood is turned back in An Giang   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Kiet's visit to An Giang last week armed him with the confidence to return to a weekend HCM City conference of scientists on the inter-relationship between the Vinh Te Canal and Long Xyen Quadrangle in the Delta to push for al further extension of the life-saving and money-saving canal network.
Kiet had also seen (unlike in previous years when farmers had to hurry harvesting their ripening, rice crop in September against the threat of rising flood waters) farmers now taking their time to harvest their ripening summer-autumn rice crop, and also sowing rice for their third crop of the year.
Kiet told participants to the two-day HCM City seminar that even though the new canal network had been basically ompleted after three years of construction, further efforts were needed to assess the significance of the Vinh Te Canal which was regarded as the backbone of the entire network.

 The Coward and the War Criminal They will soon lock America in an embrace stained with the blood of Vietnam veterans
Kiet is traveling the world, begging for the lifting of the U.S. imposed trade embargo, and he is the same hard-line card-toting communist, who 25 years ago, helped develop the official policy for Vietnamese communists of publicly executing American prisoners as a form of retaliation.
Kiet and other Central Committee members, in fact, should be tried for the murders and other war crimes should he step foot in the United States, say many veterans and family members of soldiers who were executed by Kiet's committee.
Kiet is still on the same track today that he was on in 1967 with the issue of the NLF manifesto.

Furthermore, Kiet agreed that this delegation could comprise Vietnamese-Australian community leaders and politicians, and that it would be free to assess the human rights situation in Viet Nam.
The reason(s) why Kiet acceded to this Australian request are not of central concern here, what is crucial, however, is that Kiet, although Prime Minister, acted unilaterally without the approval of the Vietnamese government, let alone the Vietnamese Communist Party.
After Kiet's return to Viet Nam there were substantial discussions in Ha Noi between conservative and reformist political figures within the senior ranks of the Vietnamese government and Communist Party concerning the pending visit of an Australian human rights delegation.
