After reading the front page story - " Execution in
Hanoi has Canada-Vietnam relations in disarray - " I could
at least wink at Senator John McCain's gut reaction remark
that " the wrong guys won the war ! " .
Even today old fashioned Stalinist propaganda asserts
that the death penalty is a barbaric tool of capitalism . Its
purpose being to terrorize the bolder elements of the oppressed
working class.
I see no " Marxist humanism " in the execution
of 43 year old Canadian seamstress Nguyen Thi Hiep. Her
crime of drug smuggling - or was she in fact innocent ? -
did not merit being shot by a firing squad while staring
despondently down into her own grave .
Shame on Vietnam! What odious communist cockroaches
still rule over there !
