Dear sir,

Re.: On the anniversary of defeat in Vietnam, it's once again about an empire getting its butt kicked by Harvey Wasserman

I visited Vietnam a couple of months after the reunification, as a member of a Norwegian Delegation offering financial aid to Vietnam in the off-shore sector. We got hold of the seismic done by the American Oil Companies at the cost of the US tax payer and hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded. We could see the clear signs of enormous oil and gas deposits off the coast of South Vietnam. We even got the maps showing the off shore drilling and operations rights assigned to Exxon, Bp, Shell and the rest of the "sisters". (Hence no wonder why the Norwegian oil company Statoil struck as huge a well as Exxon out there). You do of course also know this to be a fact. You know darn well that the US of A did not perform some kind of heroic act out  in Vietnam, like trying to save someone from communism !. America never lost any war, but America lost the total control over the oil out there. There never was, nor ever will there be, a war fought for any other reason than profit and power. Even the  God referred to on your dollar bills, carried out numerous insane and bloody wars for that very reason. The US of A does not intervene or make their presence anywhere around the world where there is no oil or other resources to be exploited.

With sad regards, Svein Evensen
