Vietnam and the Obama Legacy of Engagement

Barbara Slavin, Voice of America
Addressing a huge audience at a convention center in Hanoi on Tuesday, Obama focused on the positive. He said that the example of U.S.-Vietnamese rapprochement “holds lessons for the world. At a time when many conflicts seem intractable, seem as if they will never end, we have shown that hearts can change and that a different future is possible when we refuse to be prisoners of the past,” Obama said. “We've shown how peace can be better than war.”
