Vietnam,Ho Chi Minh City: tourists buying gadgets at the War Museum...Once known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the name change reflects a desire not to offend wealthy tourists. Despite the rhetoric, this museum has become one of the most popular attractions with Western visitors of all political persuasions. It is a stark reminder that wars rarely have winners and are never glorious. Along with the many photographs, the museum displays US armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, bombs and infantry weapons. There is even a guillotine used by the French on pesky Viet Minh 'troublemakers'.
