It was the Cold War. We were trying to keep Communism from spreading. Anybody who was anti-Communist was better than the alternative.

One reason the choices for government in South VietNam were so poor was that the North VietNamese assassinated anybody who was outspokenly against them. 36,725 South Vietnamese assassinated and 58,499 abducted are the numbers I see, which are suspiciously precise.

But assassinating opposition leaders was what the Communists always did, in every country they took over.
