    Well, you certainly can’t blame them for wanting to emulate a program that’s worked so flawlessly everywhere else in the world.

    I’m starting my own drug eradication program. Pay up, suckers!

    Rofl!!
    I did note that it actually may be possible with enough bullets for the criminals, totalitarian state and all.
    So, if for some freak reason there was any inkling of sucess would that be taken as some inadvertant support for the nanny state?

    They want to totally eradicate drugs, eh? I wonder what they were smoking.

    Just remember, Vietnam, do what we did in the US and very soon all drugs and drug users will be gone–forever! Magic!

    Oh, and I want $10,000. In C-notes, preferably. And my wife wants a grand piano and $10K for herself.

    I wouldn’t want to be a cop in Vietnam right now. Or a coroner. or a mortician. Or someone who has a friend/loved one who (gasp!) uses “the drugs.”

    I guess they figure that if their neighbors, the Thais, who are having such incredible, uh, er, ‘success’, that they might be able to go one better and up the ante. Nothing like a little one-upmanship to inspire competition.

    Of course, the number of extra-judicial killings involving ‘unknown assailants’ (in a country where civilians are banned from possessing firearms and the police have the monopoly on force) juuuuuuust coincidentally take place amongst hated ethnic subgroups. Hmmm. Now, I cannot help but wonder where they got their (ahem) inspiration from?
