Буш восхищается коммунистическим Вьетнамом: "I guess my first reaction is history has a long march to it, and that societies change and relationships can constantly be altered to the good,'' Bush said. "The prime minister of Vietnam who, as I understand it, was part of the Viet Cong, sends his children to our country to get educated, and one of his children ended up marrying a Vietnamese American. And it shows how hopeful the world can be and how people can reconcile and move beyond past difficulties for the common good.

"Vietnam is an exciting place,'' said Bush, who in his meeting with the president today, said: "You're like a young tiger.''
