Thanh : Communist Road to Power in Vietnam Text : ---------------------------------- We do not have any illusions about the United States. We do not underestimate our opponent -- the strong and cunning U.S. imperialism. But we are not afraid of the United States... If, on the contrary, one is afraid of the United States and thinks that to offend it would court failure, and that firm opposition to United States imperialism would touch off a nuclear war, then the only course left would be to compromise with and surrender to United States imperialism.
