We can put forth any condition. We can spurn all overtures. Who are we friends with, anyway? Our friendship, is it so priceless? It should be give & take. Times have changed. Vietnam is attracting huge investments from all countries and also from China. The clinger with US is " we have mo muslims, you are safe". To think that they fought a war & killed thousands some years back. Empty rhetorics will not fill the stomachs. We can be ostrasized by all. Learn from Japan & China. They cooperate to avoid all animosities.
We can lose a battle, but we can win the war of peace.
