[Pen-l] Vietnam keen to further join in Afghan reconstruction

Some of us use the lists (1) as ways to extract some signal from the
news noise and (2) as vehicles to bounce our ideas off others (perhaps
a bit too passionately).  For both reasons, it'd be much better if
Ulhas made an effort to engage.  When he feels like it, he uses up a
lot of bandwidth with his sendings while he stubbornly refuses to
editorialize and engage.  I'm sure his own personal views would be
appreciated on this list (even if not shared).

Having said that, I find it obnoxious Louis' practice of hanging
ideological labels on people's necks.  If Louis made a tiny bit of an
effort on his part to demonstrate how Ulhas' positions are
"ex-Marxist" (whatever the f--- that may mean to him), he'd elicit
much more of respect than he currently gets (from me at least).
