NO PHOTO WITH HO

Younger Vietnamese Americans, too young to remember the war, increasingly support engagement to accelerate economic development, said Hai Ton, 26, president of the Union of North American Vietnamese Student Associations.

The group of young professionals and students believes the reform of religious and civil rights policies that helped Hanoi get off the U.S. blacklist need "broader implementation on an accelerated time frame," he said.

Vietnamese elders take a harder line.

Staunch Hanoi foe Chanh Huu Nguyen, 57, said his advice to Bush was: "Be careful if he stands in front of Ho Chi Minh's picture, because the communists will use President Bush's picture" to boost their image among Vietnamese youth.
