For the people who live in the south of Vietnam, they no longer fear assassination at the hands of the Americans, or their Vietnamese allies.
Asking any question about Vietnam often gets very biased answers from Americans who still cannot get over their morally superior complexes, and links to a questionable Wikipedia pages. These types have a lot to say about the education/labor camps, but always fall short on CIA assassination programs like Operation Phoenix.

The country side zones where city folks were forcibly relocated to to become farmers were called %26quot;new economic zone%26quot;, which like %26quot;re-education camps%26quot;, were no more than pretty names for punishment and revenge meted out to %26quot;reactionary%26quot; elements.
