Ambassador John Negroponte

Because they left North Vietnam after the Geneva Agreements of 1954. There was a transfer of a million people to the South. And then many of those same people then, or their descendants, came to the United States. But I'll give John McCain and others great credit Despite having fought the war, despite having been... Actually, there were a couple of the prisoners of war.

McCain and the fellow also who was the first ambassador to Vietnam, to the unified Vietnam. They wanted to reopen relations. They didn't want to keep the grudge forever. And I think they're right. You know, when a war is over, it's over. You got to... You gotta try to rebuild a relationship of some kind. And I think we've done a pretty good job of that with today's Vietnam.

Even though we don't agree with all of their politics, right? I mean, I think it's... And I think John McCain and others who advocated for the relationship deserve our gratitude for having done that.

I think you're right. Most of my career, which ended up being 44 years, but in the early part of my career, when I always went up to Capitol Hill a lot from the State Department. In the beginning, you could count on these World War II veterans to carry forward our national security.
