The third judge and the referee will be from the Philippines. At least they're not from Cambodia, or Vietnam, or some other neighboring country. But I told Carina we probably need to knock her down a couple of times to get the decision. And they'll definitely have the home turf and the weather on their side, too.

Rick Noble

When foreign investors enter Vietnam, they must follow the country's labor rules. If they don't, the Vietnamese government has the responsibility to enforce the law or expel the company. The government has to protect the worker. The unions that represent workers in factories of foreign and joint-stock companies are weak. They don't have the strength to stand up to the management.

Long Nguyen

I've seen major changes in Vietnam; however, there are still problems and difficulties that need to be overcome.

Vo Nguyen Giap

Besides Vietnam , we also have offices in the US , Australia , India , Russia , and Romania .

Henry Nguyen

Dr. Shigeru Omi

John Rowan

If the Mets can win the World Series, the United States can get out of Vietnam.

Lee Zaslofsky

When there is clear testimony that use of such weapons has done this, it demands a full investigation. From Vietnam onwards there has been a general condemnation of [the use of white phosphorus] and concern about the injuries and consequences.

Robert Musil

It's this unilateral thing that makes people upset; you want everything your way, and as long as the world toes your line, it's fine. But you guys are the ones who used nuclear bombs in Japan. You used chemical weapons in Vietnam. And you're the ones driving all those gas-guzzling cars. You have no moral ground to stand on. Who are you to tell us what to do?

Anand Mahindra

Not like the poor guys who went to Vietnam and Korea.

I've had people say kids died in Vietnam listening to this music, other people say they know someone who didn't commit suicide because of this music. ... On stage, when we played these songs, they felt mysterious and magic. That's not for rent.

John Densmore

Vietnam was an exercise in mistaken idealism; Iraq in cynical money-making. And there's no optimism or idealism now -- Americans are tired of knowledge. Our leaders, the C-students from Yale, know this. We're proud of being ignorant; that leaves virtue at our core. We aren't frazzled by knowledge like foreigners, so we can be trusted.

Kurt Vonnegut

During the Vietnam War era people were concerned about what was going on economically in their lives, and film studios were worried about what was going on with the box office.

Chris Flint

The previous vaccine we developed was a strain obtained in Vietnam from 2004. The vaccine against the Vietnam virus would not be the most appropriate to protect against the Indonesia-like viruses.

Ruben Donis

We've only come as tourists to visit this beautiful country and see our friends that have come over to the U.S. before. The prime minister of Vietnam told President Bush that there is freedom here. However, we have been followed and harassed since we arrived. Although Chad is a building contractor, not a preacher or a teacher, they seem to want to believe otherwise.

Loree Mcnamee

When it was put there in 1982, there were very specific reasons why. One was the proximity to the highway, which was used many times by people heading to Canada to flee the draft, and the area looks like Highway 1 in Vietnam.

John Miner

A vast number of soldiers came by our table to see our books. Even the soldiers that were in training came over to our tent. Several Vietnam vets came by the tent to see the books.

Daniel Healy

There was a deep bitterness over Vietnam and the way the service chiefs had been co-opted.

Richard Kohn

I remember the intellectual fashion for American decline in the 1970s. There was the stunning defeat of the U.S. in Vietnam , rioting in Detroit and Newark that suggested the social fabric was coming apart, talk of Rust Belt America unable to compete with the Japanese, and a sense the Russian bear was on the march.

Michael Ignatieff

I'm one of the three Vietnam veterans that George Bush went after. He came to my state five different times and they ran millions of dollars worth of ads with me and Saddam Hussein up there.

Max Cleland

Vietnam is becoming more transparent, and decision-making is more accountable.

Frederick Burke

Taiwan has a huge a mount in Vietnam due to cultural affinities and concern about overdependence on China.

Frederick Burke

I have run into people who don't support the president's views on Iraq or our objectives, but I haven't run into a single person who said (he or she) doesn't support the troops. I think our society learned from Vietnam that it's not the men and women who sacrifice their lives and signed on the dotted lines who make up the plans and objectives. I think pretty much everyone supports the troops.

Jason Crawford

China is accounting for ever larger proportions of research and development financing, but Vietnam is still not in that game yet.

Jonathan Pincus

Ann Coulter

The governments (in Canada, Vietnam, Singapore, and Hong Kong) have reported cases, and we see in each of these areas, the case reports are decreasing and becoming more stable so we believe the epidemic may have peaked there.

C. David Heymann

On the literal level, Ada is looking for her father. Charles's search is more psychological. Physically, he's looking for the village [where he killed a Vietnamese child point-blank]. By extension, if he finds the village, he thinks something will happen and he'll be absolved -- find completion. I suppose it's symbolic of what happened to him in Vietnam. Ada is still looking for what he was. . . .

David Bergen

With Robinson, you have to remember his son was in Vietnam. If you have children there you want to believe the cause is noble, or you want to get them home.

Chris Lamb

This is our generation's Vietnam, our generation's Kennedy assassination.

Korey Rowe

Diverted the resources it required to the other war, in Vietnam.

[While French and Vietnamese styles are often found combined in restaurant settings around the world, French food in Vietnam is more of a] romantic notion, ... In reality, for most practical purposes, most Vietnamese did not enjoy it.

Mai Pham

It is totally ridiculous and false. The minister himself has said that he has never even been in Vietnam.

Alejandro Gonzalez

Certainly the Australians were buried in Korea. But I think that from Vietnam on, all the killed were brought home to America or to Australia, in our case.

Peter Scott

I was so concerned that the violence I was seeing [in Vietnam] and [on television] back home was going to grow and grow. But because of the seeds of peace Dr. King and others planted then, we were able to maintain.

Michael Chambers

The Vietnam War was happening, but Lubbock was... They put a pinch on it.

Bob Livingston

These were sent to places such as Cambodia, Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and outback Australia.

Debbie Smith

One minute I was about to be lynched in Anniston, and then a few years later I find myself on a ship going to Vietnam to serve as a medic.

Hank Thomas

All I know is that when I was a kid the Vietnam war was on and Jane Fonda was the own person standing up and saying what every kid who was nine-years-old like I was knew, war is wrong and we shouldn't go over and kill other people in a country that has nothing to do with us or our democracy.

Rosie O'donnell

You will find that governments in China, Myanmar and Vietnam have a much higher level of control over content. In countries like Korea, Taiwan and Japan, the privacy protections are much more similar to Europe or the United States.

Jeanette Chan

He was a young man who came back, had seen a lot in Vietnam, wanted this country to end that war and came back worked very hard to bring that war to an end.

Michael Meehan

What started out to be a lovely, joyous thing has become Vietnam, Hiroshima -- a nightmare for me.

Marty Ingels

This is vintage Charlie Rangel. He's adept at distortion and his proposed draft isn't meant to improve the military but to create a Vietnam era military of draftees. Anyone who knows anything about the military knows that conscription brings about negative results.

Sid Francis

And we'll have Vietnam living history [i.e. re-enactors] up there.

Paul Arnold

I am a student of nonviolence and a pacifist, ... It's been 30 years since Vietnam. I hope it will not be 30 more years before we can have a bit of peace and reconciliation.

Nanci Griffith

When I walked outside, I thought it was Vietnam all over again, I must have thanked God 100 times.

Art Morgan

What appears to be clear is that he suffered in part as a result from his experience in Vietnam. He had some post-traumatic stress related disorder. Which of course doesn't excuse the crime, but it lends itself to an understanding.

Abe Bonowitz

Vietnam is willing to be a friend and a reliable partner of all countries.

Tran Duc Luong

When I was a Marine in the hospital during Vietnam, I would have died without being given blood so I know first-hand the importance of having blood available. I always donate and I am very happy to see so many of our kids donate also. We will continue to have the mobile in the future.

Jim Oyster

If you fight opponents who are weaker than yourself for any length, then you will find yourself disintegrating. It happened to the French in Algeria. It happened to the Americans in Vietnam. It happened to the Soviets in Afghanistan, and now it's happening to us.

Martin Von Creveld

Our company will commission the first factory in Vietnam in early 2006 to manufacture C3Play, transceiver equipment used for digital TV and wireless Internet.

The population of Vietnam is 83 million. We have 1.3 million Vietnamese living in America. I don't know who this gentleman would represent.

Phan Van Khai

With Vietnam hosting (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum) in November, this is a critical window of opportunity. Vietnam cannot afford to let it slip.

Myron Brilliant

It was Bill Clinton who opened up and had the vision for moving ahead rather aggressively with our relationship with Vietnam, when in many senses it may not have been to any political advantage of his, ... He saw this as an opportunity for America to heal wounds and to build bridges.

Pete Peterson

She is obviously very disappointed as she had wanted to go to Vietnam for several years to highlight human rights issues, which is a very important issue for her constituents and which she is very passionate about.

Carrie Brooks

The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust [our own] government statements. I had no idea until then that you could not rely on [them].

J. William Fulbright

The brave men who died in Vietnam, more than 100% of which were black, were the ultimate sacrifice.

Marion Berry

When Japan and China tensions erupted last year, there was a sudden interest from Japan to have fallback capacity in Vietnam.

Frederick Burke

I'm glad that Billy and all Vietnam veterans, for that matter, are finally getting this kind of recognition. It's as if they're finally getting their due.

Karen Howard

God came at us with a vengeance. I can't understand it. This was a mean mother, meaner than Vietnam. It came out of nowhere.

Tony Gugino

That's where a lot of the networking in Vietnam goes on -- the golf course.

Thinh Nguyen

I think Vietnam was what we had instead of happy childhoods.

Michael Herr

Things have changed a lot in Vietnam. Americans are the only ones still thinking about the war. The Vietnamese have moved on.

Don Lam

I had just retired and was not sure what I was going to do. I hadn't played (softball) in 35 years. The last time was in the service; pickup games in Vietnam when it was safe to do so.

Bill Porter

It has clearly been a pattern in the past few months of Congress intensifying its efforts of looking into how the executive branch has handled executive authority, and this will only intensify. During the 1970s, Congress was also under scrutiny for how it operated; at the same time, it increased its scrutiny of how the White House conducted the war in Vietnam and intelligence. The two go together.

Julian Zelizer

I did volunteer for service in Vietnam and combat there, unlike our congressman who used his daddy's influence to get into the National Guard to avoid it.

Al Weed

We hope that all of these (talks) will be done and out of the way by the time Vietnam hosts the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit in November.

Matthew Daley

This looks like a real war zone to me. Thirty years ago, I was in Vietnam, and I haven't seen such devastation since then.

Max Cleland

[LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - If you enjoyed the Kent State shootings, the lies about us winning in the Vietnam jungles,] Alice's Restaurant, ... The Sixties: The Years That Shaped a Generation.

Daniel Ellsberg

We were there, we know the truth, and we know that this guy's unfit to be commander-in-chief, ... I think you'll find that people are very, very angry at John Kerry. They remember his career in Vietnam as a short, controversial one, and they believe that only Hollywood could turn this guy into a war hero.

John O'neill

I had a lot of wonderful experiences. [There were] a lot of protests then. It was the Vietnam War. That gave us a lot of experience as young journalists.

James Nelson

There are still a lot of people who don't have access to energy. The per capita consumption of energy is very low when you take in the entire population. The focus in countries like Vietnam is to get more electricity.

Gerald Doucet

Vietnam was as much a laboratory experiment as a war.

John Pilger

Unless it's a long-standing conflict like World War II or Vietnam, whose effects we saw on the movies for years, most recessions are too small to really impact the content of movies.

Peter Rainer

Iraq is one of the issues that everybody has a problem with, ... There are some big discussions about it around town. Everybody's got their agreements and disagreements. It seems like there's no end. Is it going to end up another Vietnam?

William Anderson

These practices have been developed through the decades. The iconic photograph of the Abu Ghraib detainee, hooded and wired and standing on a small box, depicts a position known to intelligence officials as 'The Vietnam.'

Jennifer Harbury

Ultimately, in its collapse, Laos was important because it proved the validity of the so-called 'domino theory', which preached that communism - once victorious in South Vietnam - would metastasize throughout the region.

Michael Johns

In the Vietnam era, the Pentagon targeted Chicanos, Puerto Ricans and other minority and poor youth with a discriminatory draft.

Rosalio Munoz

We have to realize that Iraq is already a Vietnam. But if there's going to continue to be turmoil among the Iraqi citizens themselves that puts us in the middle that's a problem because the good guys are the ones getting hurt.

Charles Brown

What appears to be clear is that he suffered in part of a result from his experience in Vietnam.

Abe Bonowitz

[Convention Chairman Jeff Olsen said the American Legion has met twice before in Hawaii -- the last time was 1981 -- and has always enjoyed record attendance here.] Hawaii is a place where many of our veterans served, ... Many of our Vietnam veterans came to Hawaii for R&R during their term.

Jeff Olsen

There is no question that on the subject of physical courage and moral courage that she was Dr King's equal in every way. So far, there is nothing to suggest that she ever wavered in getting him to take the more aggressive stance he could not only on segregation, but on the Vietnam war.

Howell Raines

You go to somewhere like Vietnam and I'm sure it's a very strong acquisition strategy, as opposed to a one-to-one marketing strategy.

Greg Paull

We will not let happen to Soldiers these days what happened to the Vietnam Soldiers when they came back.

John Arnold

This time you're going to bring in people who were educated in Vietnam and have much wider experience abroad than any of their predecessors. They will have been more involved in developing the country than trying to get rid of foreigners or trying to recover from the ravages of war.

Carl Thayer

The guy's a Vietnam vet and a boxer, but he's also a drug addict, and she's trying to get away from the dead-end world where she lives in the South, ... They run off together and wind up in a casino town, like Reno or Vegas, and their relationship falls apart.

Aimee Mann

Vietnam is a jungle. You had jungle warfare. Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, you have sand. [There is no need to worry about a protracted war because] from a historical basis, Middle East conflicts do not last a long time.

Dan Quayle

The limits of our military power must be obvious to all, and domestically we are divided as we have not been since Vietnam. So what should we do now? Can we think honestly about those with grievances against the U.S.? Can we think how to conclude the war in Iraq, how to offset the forces of extremism?

James Fallows

The post-Vietnam period was a period of enormous moral confusion. It felt very much like a starting-over point, where there was a re-examination of social assumptions about the idea of law enforcement and the social contract.

David Milch

You go to Vietnam and they love Americans there. I was amazed by that.

John Holly

This war, as bad as it is, touches a far smaller percentage of the population than Vietnam did.

Charles Franklin

Since Vietnam, I have fought in every war this country fought in.

Kevin Coates

I am afraid (if the present trend in Vietnam continues) that direct confrontation, first of all between Washington and Peking, is inevitable.

U. Thant

Said Jones, who served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970, ''so I put it on every morning. I just feel that there's something behind it -- I couldn't tell you what. It's a part of my life; it sort of puts closure behind Vietnam.

Jack Jones

I will tell you in all candor that the only baby killer I knew in Vietnam was John F. Kerry.

William Franke

Adrian Cronauer: Goooooooood morning, Vietnam! Hey, this is not a test! This is rock and roll! Time to rock it from the Delta to the D.M.Z.!

Good Morning Vietnam

It's like Vietnam all over again, and I opposed that too.

George Muller

Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret.

Lauren Graham

Those were very self-serious times, ... The end of the Vietnam War changed all that. The nation exhaled, `Saturday Night Live' hit big, and satire really took off.

Garry Trudeau

You hear interesting stories. We talked to a guy who was in Vietnam. You learn stuff historically.

Craig Reavis

Idealism that makes no distinction between areas where our national interest lies and those from which it is remote does no good for America. The weariness of the post-Versailles, post-Korea, post-Vietnam eras is never far from the national mood.

Dick Morris

I don't run nowhere. I didn't run in Vietnam, and I'm not going nowhere now.

Philip Turner

It's not so bad for politicians and Pulitzer Prize poets and certain intellectuals in this country to sign petitions and speak out against the war in Vietnam, but when Cassius Clay did it he paid a heavy price for Freedom of Speech.

Floyd Patterson

Vietnam is one of the last frontier emerging economies in the region that will demand serious investor attention.

Spencer White

The Vietnam and Korean memorials make us feel the human effort, sacrifice and loss, ... Instead here, we will encounter acres of stark granite, water and an eternal flame.

Scott Feldman

We made a vow after Sept. 11 that we would not allow the anti-American left to do to us this time what they did during Vietnam, which was wear down the morale of the American.

Kristinn Taylor

The party is the vanguard for the working class. What is in the Constitution is the burning desire and aspiration of all the people of Vietnam.

Nong Duc Manh

I was in the Navy a long time, and what we're trying to do here is something we didn't do in Vietnam.

Rex King

Anyone who has ever walked up to The Moving Wall is part owner, for each person has left a little of themselves and taken with them a little of what they found there. To walk up to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or its extension through The Moving Wall, is profoundly an American experience; profoundly a human experience; profoundly a loving experience.

John Devitt

There are so many Cambodians, particularly young people, who just don't believe that these crimes happened. They think this must have been some evil external force - it must be China, Vietnam, the Americans who did this.

Craig Etcheson

These wars are not only difficult to report, but increasingly difficult to survive. Those [journalists] who have died in three years in Iraq now outnumber those who died in Vietnam in 12.

Martin Bell

It is straight out of its time, from the rock music to the anti-Vietnam War sentiment.

Oskar Eustis

This period recalls the early 1970s between Congress and Nixon and the war in Vietnam. The president pushed presidential war powers as far as he could take it, and Congress is now trying to reassert its power in this war.

Julian Zelizer

It's a big issue for me. We're youth and we see older people forgetting what happened in Vietnam. We don't want that to happen to us. I'm 17 years old, I'll be 18 next month; I can go over to Iraq and get a gun shot at me. I think I have the right to voice my opinion out here.

John Ringer

Although the costs of war have grown... the American economy is exponentially larger than it was in the Vietnam War years. When it [the Iraq war] is compared to the overall size of the American economy, it's really a drop in the bucket, certainly by historical standards.

Thomas Donnelly

All of Western tradition, from the late bloom of the British Empire right through the early doom of Vietnam, dictates that you do something spectacular and irreversible whenever you find yourself in or whenever you impose yourself upon a wholly unfamiliar situation belonging to somebody else. Frequently it's your soul or your honor or your manhood, or democracy itself, at stake.

June Jordan

The red roses are for love. The yellow roses are for hope -- hope for those that aren't returned yet, those that are missing in Vietnam, that they someday will be returned.

Tony Cordero

I think there is a different assessment this time of where Vietnam is. The companies are coming to look and looking to stay.

Virginia Foote

We're constantly trying to tell the story through the eyes of individual marines. And when we open there will be major exhibits on WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam, ... But there will be general exhibitory that will take the visitor through Marine Corps history from 1775 to the present.

Lin Ezell

On the Vietnam War: I've lived under situations where every decent man declared war first and I've lived under situations where you don't declare war. We've been flexible enough to kill people without declaring war.

Lewis B. Hershey

You'll find tremendous enthusiasm among the foreign community for Vietnam as the next rising star.

Jonathan Pincus

This will be the largest increase in the number of SOF since the Vietnam War.

Michael Vickers

I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.

Gen William C. Westmoreland

Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam.

Spiro T. Agnew

The worst nightmare I ever had about Vietnam was that I had to go back. I woke up in a sweat, in total terror.

Oliver Stone

We don't want to leave in the wrong way like we did in Vietnam.

James Rice

During Vietnam, Lyndon Johnson said we can fight them there or fight them here, but no one believed it. This time, there's more fear about what happens next.

Michael Kazin

I always said, if we had all that air power why didn't we do it from the very beginning. We are losing too many good Americans over there. It's tough to get out now. This is another type of Vietnam. We will be there for a while. There is no way President Bush is going to pull out now.

Louis Smith

His allegations that people committed war crimes in that unit, and throughout Vietnam, were lies. He knew they were lies when he said them, and they were very damaging lies.

John O'neill

I think Operation Smile is in more than 22 countries, mostly Third World. It just happened that my schedule opened up at the time they were heading to Vietnam.

Roma Downey

Once I came back from Vietnam, I moved on. But it was nice to talk to somebody who had experienced it and to find out what happened to a few other people.

Gerald Baltes

Anybody who actually cares about people, come out and help us help this man who was a veteran of the Vietnam war and fought for us. Let's fight for him.

Tonja Neal

We could take part in building a nuclear power plant in Vietnam.

Mikhail Fradkov

We are actually disease-free in Vietnam for the moment. We're probably not virus-free, but what the mass vaccination has done is reduce the virus load in the environment we have less virus circulating.

Hans Troedsson

This was a lied-into war that is a quagmire now, ... It could be worse than Vietnam. The truth is we can't win, and there's still an ongoing deception.

Coleen Rowley

There's been reports of a .50 (caliber) sniper rifle out there. Maybe they called this in just to get us out here and take a shot. A .50-cal would go straight through our (body armor) plates, ... Why do I feel like I'm in a f------ Vietnam movie?

Tom Coffey

We were some of the first Americans who landed in Vietnam without weapons in our hands, you might say.

Dennis Kuhl

The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam...

J. G. Ballard

He was just a normal kid. He was a normal kid for his age. He was just starting to grow when he went to Vietnam.

Clifford Chubb

The sheer volume of Vietnam veterans now is overwhelming.

Ron Faust

I'm looking to be shot any time I step out of my car . . . If I die, it will be in a good cause. I've been fighting for America just as much as the soldiers in Vietnam.

Medgar Evers

My unit circle got me through Vietnam.

Joe Dunlevy

This reminds me so much of Vietnam.

James Clarke

I'd like to see some pictures from the Korean and Vietnam eras.

Paul Cooper

Nixon and the FBI saw VVAW as a major, major threat to the United States, ... Home To War: A History of the Vietnam Veterans' Movement.

Gerald Nicosia

War doesn't go away when the bullets stop. Vietnam still is as relevant today as it was then.

David Maraniss

The victory of the August Revolution and the birth of a new Vietnam were historic milestones, shattering nearly a century of cruel colonial rule and fascism ... ushering in a new era in the nation's history, an era of independence and freedom.

So far the situation is still under control, the number of deaths due to the AI virus is still below those in Vietnam and Thailand .

Mr. O'Neill has certainly earned his right, through his service, to speak whatever he wants and have his opinions. We would disagree with some of his characterizations. Sen. Kerry volunteered to go to Vietnam. ... [He] won a Silver Star for bravery, a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts leading that division.

Michael Meehan

In Vietnam, they poisoned us with Agent Orange, and now they are poisoning another generation with depleted uranium and other toxins.

Dave Curry

Their sacrifices, and the sacrifices of all Vietnam veterans, must always be remembered, ... Not just today ... but every day, let us remember the sacrifice and valor of those who paid the ultimate price for freedom. Let's remember those who are paying that price right now, too.

John Caldwell

Meagher is a Vietnam veteran who has dedicated his service to the veteran, and in this position, he will work to ensure the technology we are building on today improves our service delivery to the nation's veterans and their families tomorrow.

Robert Mcfarland

I knew Maggie since way back, when she was touring during the Vietnam war.

James Spitz

For Vietnam to step forward [on security cooperation], they have to step forward in two directions. They don't want to be roped into a US containment policy towards China.... They want the US to remain engaged [in Asia], but they don't want to get too close.

Carl Thayer

During my three years in Vietnam, I certainly heard plenty of last words by dying American footsoldiers. Not one of them, however, had illusions that he had somehow accomplished something worthwhile in the process of making the Supreme Sacrifice.

Kurt Vonnegut

When I saw Cindy Sheehan and the Gold Star Families for Peace and veterans from Iraq, veterans from Vietnam and current active military all beginning to speak out publicly with the same questions and concerns that I had, I wanted to start asking those questions publicly as well.

Alan Rowe

When you hear about Vietnam, it's always about economic growth.

Thuy Nguyen

It was a sound you'll never forget. It would take you back to Vietnam.

Dave Bertram

If the health care budget of Vietnam is about $7 a person, that would be enough for one flu shot.

Earl Brown

We now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

While growing up, on the news every night was the war in Vietnam and the Civil Rights movement. We were all talking about what was happening when Kennedy got killed and King got killed. The whole Watergate thing with Nixon was big.

Eugene Dial

Forty years ago this country went down a rabbit hole in Vietnam and millions died. I fear we're going down a rabbit hole once again - and if people can stop and think and reflect on some of the ideas and issues in this movie, perhaps I've done some damn good here!

Errol Morris

It's like Vietnam. I don't think it's going to stop until people get into the streets.

Ernest Johnson

We felt the pain of you guys being obsessed with fantasy football. I kept kidding around that I was going to start this league and had the idea a few years ago. In January, we ran two experimental seasons and by the third day we had a pretty strong concept. Now, we have people in the U.K. and Vietnam playing.

Erica Salmon

The hotel itself was something of a microcosm of the country at the time, reflecting the racial divisions in the U.S. at the time and how divided people were about Vietnam, ... It was important if you were a 19-year-old man at the time that Bobby Kennedy was elected president because his promise was to get us out of the war rather than escalate it.

Emilio Estevez

This has been a trend ever since the Vietnam War.

Eliot Cohen

One of the few positive results of the Vietnam War is the irresistible momentum it gave Congress thirty-four years ago to pass legislation lowering the voting age to 18.
