First Step Towards Reconciliation "The First Hand Shake"
~ DON'T TRIP OVER A PENNY ON YOUR WAY TO A MILLLION

"Don't trip over a penny on your way to a million." I forgot who
told me that, but it stuck with me. "Don't sweat the small
stuff." was what another person told me. "Keep your eyes on the
ball.", "Keep an eye on the prize."...etc. We all have heard it.

It really erks me that when people are asked to pay $5 extra at the
border crossing they bitch about it for days and days, but when people
like the Danes steel millions from Laos, people all of a sudden want to
look at facts.

When Bushie and the gang squander billions and billions of our tax
dollars no none of these same people who bitch about $5 dollars dare
say anything.

The LPDR took the first step towards reconciliation. They invited a
group, including Pao, back to Laos to "work things out". This is the
first step and the LPDR have extended their hand for a handshake. They
gave Pao, one of their most critical criticizers a warm welcome.

TKM,

What LPDR offered Dr. Pao was not one step toward reconciliation. It
was just a tactic to fool the outsiders. However, Dr. Pao played a
better game. The truth can't be hiden. Dr. Pao knew them all.

Poj.

Tao Khai Meut,

Don't jump the gun too quick!

First step to invite me back to Laos - the credit goes to the bold
decision of the Lao Embassy in Canberra - a calculated risk for both
sides but both sides are prepare to take the risk to try for the prize.
So... once again congratulation to all the concerned & responsible
people in the Phak... and the credit should go to the Lao Ambassador,
Mr. Kenthong Nuanthasing and his staff in Canberra.

Secondly, this is only the first step toward a better relationship
between the Laonor & Laonai BUT this is not to be taken as the first
step of reconcilliation. There is no such thing as reconsilliation if
you remember what ດອກກະຈຽວ (our Laonai rep) said during
the short cyber discussion between Laonai and Laonork, just days before
I left for Laos.

LOL, I didn't jump the gun and assumed that the soldiers had anything

and by doing that you have set the clock of reconciliation back a year
or two didn't you?

Pao, are you that dense? Are you that thick? The Lao Ambassador, Mr.
Kenthong Nuanthasing and his staff in Canberra IS LPDR. They are they
LPDR representative in OZ no? Thereby making my statement that LPDR
extend their hand to the Laonorks a valid statement no? Don't they
teach you anything at school, what it means to be an ambassador? Damn
some people are such frickin halfwits. Oh man!

To get to a million, you have to first earn one penny. And
millionaires don't remain millionaires without pinching every penny.

Maybe that's the problem with the LPDR and their apologists. They
don't care for the pennies, instead they're too focused on the first
million.

The LPDR and their supporters would prefer that the West overlook the
corruption of LPDR officials and their brutal repression of Laotian
minorities like the Hmong. The LPDR and their backers would prefer
that on the road to reconciliation, we overlook the fact the rest of
Laotians continue to live in squalor while members of the politburo and
their friends live in luxury and get rich from selling off Laos'
natural resources. For the LPDR and their apologists, human rights and
human dignity are inconveniences and roadblocks.

These are "pennies" that must be accounted for if we are ever to reach
that million!

Your point well taken Frank. The corrupted offcial should be brought
to trial, ABSOLUTELY.
...and we should not make any excuses for them either.

1) I am by no means suggesting that we over look any crime. I am
merely suggesting that we not be tunnel-visioned and only focus on
small crimes when there are people steeling millions from Laos.

2) I am also suggesting that people who want peace should work towards
peace and not start a hanging party without enough evidence.

3) I am suggesting that LPDR made the first step by extend their hand
for a handshake with Laonorks. It shows that they are willing to works
towards reconciliation.

4) I am suggesting that by jumping to conclusions, Pao has retarded
that move towards reconcilation.

5) I am also suggesting that while bitching about $5 from our wallets
that we are forgeting that Millions are being people such as the Danes.

It is so good to know that there are people like you around! Tao Khai

Have a good day.
