American warship makes historic visit to Vietnam
DANANG - An American warship docked in Vietnam's central port city of Danang yesterday, nearly four decades after US Marines splashed ashore here heralding the unofficial start of the Vietnam War.

The arrival of the USS Curtis Wilbur, a guided missile destroyer in the US Seventh Fleet based in Yokosuka, Japan, is only the second American vessel to make a port call in Vietnam since the end of the war.
With four Vietnamese patrol boats acting as guides, the destroyer pulled into Tien Sa port with its flags flying and sailors lining the deck.
Led by Commander John Lauer, crew members walked off a red-carpeted runway to be greeted with flowers and salutes.
US Ambassador Raymond Burghardt said the crew's visit was symbolic of a new era of US-Vietnam ties.
'After 40 years, this is the first US Navy ship to arrive in peace and friendship' in Danang, he said. -- AP, AFP

Nothing. They'll just keep practising double standard and being friendly to both the Vietnamese regime and Viet-Ams.
Two good news.
1. US-Viet relations are getting better.
2. It's Da Nang!

Americans on a peace mission? Why not go tell it on the mountain? the USS Curtis Wilbur is there because of China, Taiwan, the Parcels, the Spratlys, the Montagnards. The next tourists will be CIA. I hope there will not be troubles in the coming months.
Don't count on it. As long as Bush is in power, there will always be trouble. He can use the "pre-emptive strike" again to detain China... 
Hope China can send some nukes to the White house if that happens.
