History is Gone and Forgotten

NPR's Day to Day, June 11, 2007 posted the interesting story of Gen. Vang Pao, a leader of the Hmong immigrant community in America. He will appear in a Sacramento courtroom Monday. Vang Pao is charged with trying to overthrow the government of Laos. The general's defense attorney Thomas Heffelfinger, says Vang Pao will plead not guilty.

He talks with Madeleine Brand.

Apparently, the lack of knowledge of recent history is amazing. No, not amazing; rather, criminally pathetic.
