By the way, if you actually knew anything about Vietnam you would also know that old Ho Chi Minh tried very hard to develop a relationship with the US long before he turned to Communist allies, but the State department did not think Ho Chi Minh, or Vietnam for that matter, was important enough for Washington to take the time to respond to his letters. In fact Ho Chi Minh was promised independence for his country in exchange of support against the Japanese during WWII. He held up his part giving the Japanese an extremely hard time with his guerrillas. At the end of the war, when the allies were splitting up the world, the French wanted the US to renege on the promise. At the time the French were in no position to argue, so it would have been easy for the USA to say "Vietnam will be its own country and that's that", but as GST said, they didn't consider Vietnam important enough, and they sacrificed it.
