As i mentioned yesterday, when you brought it up, i remembered that oil was in fact an issue along with democracy, invasion by north, catholicism in south. Choose your poison. In the tapes LBJ admits to knowing it was hopeless and didnt want to be stigmatized by Republican right wingers that we had lost indo china. The democrats were tarred prevously with having lost china so politically LBJ couldnt let this happen so 50k amercians + millions of Vietnamese died for this. mike
PS Please dont confuse neocons with oldycons whose views were pre-historic. Republicans other than northern republicans were violently anti communist, anti civil rights, pro right wing military regimes, and pro balance budget to a fault.
