The fruit of Kerry's betrayal, suffering Christians in Vietnam

The Democrat presidential nominee's associates show how to defend national secutity communist style in this article linked on World Net Daily - Reuters AlertNet - Vietnam: Attack on Mennonites Highlights Religious Persecution: " A new law expected to go into effect in November bans any religious activity deemed to threaten national security, public order or national unity. The recent attacks on the Mennonites, a Protestant denomination not recognized by the government, occurred against a backdrop of a crackdown on independent religious groups, in particular members of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam and ethnic minority Protestants in the northern and central highlands. During the last year, several protestant pastors and independent Buddhist monks have been detained and their places of worship shut down, cordoned off, or placed under surveillance. At least two Catholic priests and one Catholic layperson are serving long prison sentences for holding training courses and distributing books or leaflets."

Notice the superior efficiency of the communists' methods. The new national security law is merely "expected" to go into effect next month. but it is already being vigorously enforced. Despite our long slide into socialism, most Western governments stubbornly cling to the outmoded practice of enforcing laws only after they have come into effect.
