Gates, the monopolistic Hero

So as Bill Gates, the richest American on the planet, enters Vietnam for a one day visit he is mobbed by enthusiastic students touting his books. A short 30 years ago over 3,000,000 Vietnamese died at the hands of the Americans. And they say Americans have short memories.

Death, cleansing the earth of a few hundred thousand from time to time just does not seem to matter in the grand scheme of things now does it? Besides, 3,000,000 today is but .0005 % of the global population. What's the big deal? In 30 years no one will give a shit.

Just make sure they are not Americans, right?
