Theo Dõi Vụ Án TS Cù Huy Hà Vũ : chhv.wordpress.com Một loạt câu hỏi được đặt ra: Cả xã hội Việt nam dốt nát hay sao mà để cho đảng cộng sản muốn làm gì thì làm, đưa đất nước đến đâu thì đưa, không dám đấu tranh? Việt nam có ít người hiểu biết? Việt nam không có tầng lớp trí thức? Hay tầng lớp trí thức, tầng lớp có học ở Việt nam chấp nhận chế độ độc tài? Hay khái niệm về nhân quyền và dân chủ được trí thức Việt nam hiểu theo nghĩa khác? Chúng ta đều biết rằng, từ trước đên nay trên thế giới, trừ các cuộc đảo chính quân sự do các quân nhân thực hiện, hầu như mọi cuộc cách mạng, mọi sự thay đổi đều do những người trí thức khởi xướng và hướng dẫn. Theo tài liệu trong nước thì Việt Nam có hàng ngàn giáo sư, hàng vạn tiến sĩ, thạc sĩ, hàng chục vạn người có trình độ đại học. Rất nhiều người trong số đó được đào tạo ở nước ngoài, ở các nước có nền dân chủ lâu đời, truyền thống như Anh, Pháp, Mỹ,v,v. Trong thời gian làm việc nghiên cứu, học tập ở nước ngoài, họ được sống, được hưởng môi trường tự do dân chủ thật sự. Nhiều người tuy tốt nghiệp ở trong nước, nhưng được đi nước ngoài nhiều lần, được quan sát, được hội nhập chế độ dân chủ ở các nước khác. Trong các cuộc trao đổi, nói chuyện họ đều ca ngợi chế độ dân chủ, phê phán chế độ độc tài. Thế thì tại sao chế độ độc tài cộng sản mà mọi người đều cho là tệ hại tại Việt nam vẫn ngang nhiên tồn tại? Thách thức 82 triệu người dân Việt nam?
