<<But the price he paid was that he made a deal with the communist "devil" and that was the form of government they demanded in return for their support.>> I believe this is true -- but notice that neither the Russians nor the Chinese play any role now, and the institutions of government there are free to evolve. Vietnamese people demanded market reforms many years ago. The reforms are incomplete, but you will find that the Vietnamese people themselves adjust very quickly to markets. Ho Chi Minh is still regarded with great respect in Vietnam. And Vietnam is free from foreign domination. We went to war. They proved they were willing to fight to the last man, woman and child. Their suffering was remarkable. Their determination and staying power was remarkable. They won. Now they are free. We could have made better choices. Ho wrote to the State Department asking for our help. He got no reply.
