it's still a police state after all.

actually my friend is vietnamese and his family travel there three to four times a year..
I didn't say Vietnam was a paradise, I said it was not necessarily a failed state, that it was not necessarily as bad as other historical and current 'communist' states.
Besides, the American govt has equally horrifying statistics about what happens to americans considering false imprisonment, police brutality/killings, corruption, fraud etc etc..
its all about how you frame things my friend
