Is there anything to see in Asia?
Are there any ninja suicide demonstrations? How about petting zoos for
starving children in Calcutta? Are there any SARS museums, with dead patients in big formaldehyde bottles? How about youth hostels with Bush-hating european tourists who haven't bathed in a month? |

In fact, I suspect there are a LOT of countries that were sort of annoyed with him. --riverman |

It's the Americans who don't like Mr. Bush - he just lost the elections. He was the winning canditate in the latest presidential election. Some time has passed since then, so I wouldn't say he just lost any election. If you referred to the 2006 Congressional election, then I can tell you that the president wasn't running as a candidate..... |

Well, I'm certainly not going to badmouth our President or say I "hate him". I didn't vote for him either time and if he had been allowed to run this time, I still wouldn't have voted for him. I imagine that he's great to drink beers and eat steaks with on his Texas ranch. I just don't agree with most of his policies. It sounds like a good chunk of the country felt the same way and expressed that in the elections just past. Charles R. Whealton Charles Whealton @ pleasedontspam.com |

Could I recommend the "Museum of American war atrocities" (since renamed) in Saigon? Also, most of Cambodia is very good - Tuol Sleng concentration camp in Phnom Penh is excellent, as are the killing fields themselves. My favourite zoo is not alas in Asia, but in Kingston Jamaica. They have signs up saying "Please don't throw stones at the animals" (the signs are badly dinged, obviously by stones). There was nothing alive in the first 6 exhibits. However, a very honourable mention to any zoo in the Philipines, and Cebu zoo in particular. You don't mention eating endangered species, but that is possible all through South Asia; again an honorable mention to Vietnam. |

No question that the (previous?) name is fitting to the way the museum is setup. In the end, it was war and (thank God) not having been in a war, I can only guess that there's nothing good about it. But no question the museum does live up to it's old name in the displays that are setup there. Nonetheless, it's an interesting place to go. The two things that got to me the most while touring that museum were the Agent Orange displays and one picture of an American soldier, holding up a piece of an enemy solider from about one arm up to the head like a trophy. The enemy soldier had (apparently) been blown up. I know horrible things always happen in war without having been part of one, but that really drove home just how cheap life can seem during a time of war. I'll never forget it. Charles R.
