I took a photo with an elephant in Thailand last summer, would that make me an elephant too? LOL Now, tell me, if you visit a country and gets invited to a meeting with the country's President, will you turn it down if you think that would be a great chance to raise your concerns or request? Regarding the second photo, Vo Nguyen Giap, although closely allied with the communist party, has been a national hero for being the mastermind behind the victory in Dien Bien Phu against the French. He has also been speaking out against injustice on behalf of the poor of Vietnam. If that is not enough to make him a good man, I don't know what else will. Or it is all about vandalizing the present to get even for the past? I don’t see why taking a photo with Nguyen Minh Triet would make you a communist.
