More people (~2.2M) died in the 10 years after the US left Vietnam in 1975 than during the first 10 years of the war (~1.1M including 58,000 US GIs) started by a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress in 1965.

The dominoes really didn't stop falling until Afghanistan in 1979. By then, however, the seeds of Islamic extremism had already taken firm root, thanks to the incompetence and weakness of Jimmy Carter. The Ayatollah Khomeini and Saddam Hussein, for example, came to official power during the Carter administration and there was nothing a hapless Jimmy Carter could do about it except to beg Saddam Hussein, through the Saudi King, if he could please hurt Iran's feelings for taking our hostages.
