The world didn't blow up, but at least a million South-Vietnamese did. The communists aren't doing bad indeed, because all the children of parents of the old regime were conscripted and deployed on the first line as canon fodder in Cambodia,.. that was pretty good? Now they want all the "Vietnamese oversea" as the call them to come back and invest, a lot of them have done so already but a lot of them refuse untill they are given back their homes which were taken for the people (read: to house an ass kissing commy official).Mekstizzle wrote:
Didn't they end up getting rid of the Khymer Rouge, that's pretty good. Vietnam isn't doing bad today. The world didn't blow up and there was no domino effect of commies controlling Asia.Lai wrote:

Leaving Iraq would essentially be the most disasterous move the US has ever made. . . .outside of getting involved in Vietnam.
The US could have just blasted the hell out of Hanoi, but they didn't. Not just for fear of Russia, but also because of the "Free Media" which showed a distorted image of poor innocent North Vietnamese. When the US was there allready, they should have finished what they started. You don't pull out of a war out of pitty for your enemy and then let him butcher your ally.
