I HATE War
I can’t say that this didn’t happen to the Hmong people, but the producer(s) of the films are a bit biased by titled it as Genocide of Hmong in Laos, when what we are looking at is the result of the war, anywhere, not just in Laos. I think it’s a bit self-centered to think that Laotian people have had not also suffered and shared the same fate as the Hmong, if that is not the case, why am I living in the US, and not in Laos? Is it not because of the war? Lao people share the same fate as the Hmong, but some of us learn to move on because we are educated being and pride of ourselves to make a world a better place for our children, and not poisoning their mind with this hatred, pointing fingers and blaming others only shown how weak we are as an individual.
It’s time to let go of the past, today is not yesterday, and yesterday is not today nor tomorrow, what you are doing is living in yesterday only.
Viewer discretion is advised, the films are a bit brutal; war is brutal, this is the fate and face of war. In addition, the reliability of the filming, please read Fact Finding FUD Fabricating by Padek.
Genocide of the Hmong in Laos
Darly and Ginger,I figure it out how to put the link here!
This is the vid that I was talking about with the BBC journalist. Here's the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=mJHerGolvR0
(Note from Ginger: I moved this comment to the correct post)
Yes, I agree with you. I read and hear so much about Hmong this and Hmong that. It's like the Lao loum are immuned to the same sorrows and sufferings.
It's not only Hmong people that are starving and dying in Laos as I have stated before. But when you are not screaming loud enough, then no one hear you or notice you.
I want to check the sources for these pictures and videos. Most of the time I noticed how the photos and videos are provided by the Fact Finding Comission. This organization has their own motives and goals.
Sometimes when we see such graphic photos and videos, we are too eager to make judgement. We have to step back and examine both sides and get to the real hard cold fact.
It's useless because I believed it's the general's people, the first one I believe might be related to him or even his son (I don't know how many he has, and their name), because of the last name Vang. I think it's obvious of the motive, they knew that information on the internet can spread like wild fire, and reached audience fast, and this can anger those that have a *dense* *common sense*. I posted because I think it's so narrow minded and from one group perspective only. We're Laotian, some of us had it worst, but we're trying to cope with it the best we knew how. If the Hmong really want to help, take the general message at heart, but just don't follow his lead.
You know I HATE politics, and this post is way beyond my comfort zone.

this is NOT yesterday!!!!this is happening today!!!!The Laotion Government is who is Living in Yesterday's past..That's right the war is OVER!!!! So WHY the F*CK are the Hmongs being avenged ?!?!?!?!?!? Why the F*CK are the HMONGS being hunted and killed….And when WE the HMONGS say "Laos" we DONNOT mean ALL of LAOS we mean the Communists of LAOS!!! DONNOT misunderstand. This is not being self-centered. This cannot be left alone. Those Hmongs dying in the Jungles of Laos are Vietnam Veterans who fought side by side next to the Americans….Learn to understand America is part of the RESPONSIBILITY
The US is not responsible for present day insurgents that actively undermine the authority of the Lao government. Any government would defend itself against insurgents like the Committee for Independence and Democracy in Laos that planted several bombs in 2004.Terrorism should never pay off.The insane plans of Vang Pao only adds and fuels the hate of people of different ethnicity who should live in kinship.And no one supports a Hmong dominated Laos. There are better ways to exercise influence as a ethnic minority. The US will never send bombs and grenades. Another big lesson was learned in Iraq. The days of John Wayne are over. Start peace talks and stop yelling, screaming and scheming.
Are you guys done? I’m just happy that everyone gets to voice his or her opinion.
