I am sorry I offended you, but you seem to have read alittle too much into what I said. I did not mean to express pity, although, indeed, after the way USA treated Viet Nam, I dont doubt that there are a few who deserve and would gladly except my pity. I found the pictures hearthbreakingly sad, because these children are for the Americans "the living reminders of all the good we failed to do" (Miss Saigon), and also beautiful because of the resilency of those children, who, as you said, have grown up strenghtened and proud of their country.
