norther laos i had friends who visted family there they said the Hmong people are being moved to villages , cause its better to farm the low land then in the mountains where they are clear cutting the trees there.dont let an out side force divide the people there , dont forget about the dirty secret war that went on in laos.dont let them use you again , dont let them divide us! Laos would be a stronger country with Hmong people in it.

my poor hmong people. i wish i can come back and help you all. fuck all the motherfucker that try to kill us..

I hope those refugees are all right, they could have been killed, you never know with commie scumbags and murderers!

It's amazing how America will call Laos "a peaceful nation" when they have forgotten what they've done there.

Lesson to be learned; Don't trust Americans in times of war. They will lie through their teeth to get their ways and when all hell breaks loose, they will back out and forget all promises made. Has been proven throughout history.

Apparently we still have Left fascists amongst us. These were the people who ran protests in the US in support of the Vietnamese communists, and who supported the Khmer Rouge until their falling out with the Marxists of Hanoi.

Now they try to put a nationalist face on the murder of the Hmong. The best these Left fascists can suggest is that the Hmong surrender and accept slavery on farms from the people who are trying to kill them.

I hate fascists. Always have.

This is what all our sensless MULTIBILLION dollar wars leave behind,, & this is not isolated to just the Hmong people... D.C spins the story how 'we' are saving the world from evil.. who is who is my question??

Fucking americans never won any war against communism, bc they are the #1 supporters of communism! In 1914 they sent goldbricks to lenin in Russia to turn over the czarist regime and establish the SovietGulagUnion. The US gov't is the most hypocrit motherfucker on Earth. They never liberated any country from communism, but they threw a bunch of countries to communism (1945, 1956, 1968, 1975) "THOSE WHO HAVE AMERICA AS FRIEND - DON'T NEED AN ENEMY!" (Ngo Dien Diem, South Vietnamese president)

Why don't these people surrender and come out to live like normal people. A lot of Hmong people coke out to live like normal people and they are accepted by others. Also, some of them in 52 KM village are very wealthy. Well, the country is now communist and u live under it so, Come out..well, this is what happen when USA promise the future but fled away and left them behind.... Shame..... Some of them may die from unexploded bombs that USA scatter across north of Laos ( where these people live)

[blazian420]

im half lao and half hmong... raised up in a hmong background... i still dont trust lao people even though we live in america

[bmoy16]

pretty terrible shit. nuff said

[laopass]

Very sad but what can Lao believe when the Americans are involved,?

Perhaps these people led them to their demise with ultruism.

I speak Lao and have met many hmong and they are accepted as Lao qoute.

"We sell beer Lao, no wear soldier uniform, no guns"

What we need here is a reuniting of the people, after all they did turn on Brahteet Lao (their rightfull govt.who had freed them from french rule) and the Lao are still suffering from their merciless bombardment.
