Imagine some middle-aged German fellow putting a Nazi flag and a picture of Hitler up in his store. Remember the flap caused by a college student displaying a Confederate flag in his window?

For many Vietnamese, especially for the ones that ended up in the United States, the communists were nothing but butchers and thieves. Many of these people lost everything, and have lost family members as well. Much like expatriate Cubans, they are not happy about the present regime in their country.
