Hello DBach guy,
are you related to Johann Sebastian? :-)
I agree w you, DTH is a true dyed-in-the-wool vnmese. She truly loves
her country and her people. Too bad the current goverment does not want
to admit to its own failings (loss of face and all that?) and
weaknesses. DTH is highly vulnerable, but that's what makes her spirit
so strong: she has nothing to lose. Besides, she thinks that there are 2
audio tapes with incriminating evidence that are acting as her shields
for the time being...
