I've heard Vietnam is very nice.  I'm thinking of going to China next year...maybe I'll throw a visit in to Vietnam.

Since Desert Storm I've been after my congressmen to pass a bill that requires a draft, no exceptions, ages 18-40, if the military is ever used.  That's the only way you'll wake up the population.  Not one single Congressman I've had, and they've been both Repub and Dem, wants any part of that.  

I hate it they hide the horrors of war.   An "enemy" is a great tool to get the vote.  It's even better when you can keep the populace uninformed and fabricate a faceless enemy that misrepresents who they really are.  There are a lot of very, very good people who have been killed by our wars, and Americans don't see that.  Heck most Americans still think this country is the greatest on the planet, and they've never really traveled and experienced other countries (other than maybe Mexico or the Carribean).
