Wasn't there a domino that was going to topple over and crush a lot of people if Vietnam were allowed to exist?

More importantly, why do we go around in circles? Maybe Elroy can explain it to us.


I think the theory was that the people of Vietnam would be better off as a democratic nation allied with the US than as a communist nation allied with large communist countries. Comparing the numbers with neighboring Thailand seem to agree with the theory.

Thailand (democratic, allied with the US) average annual income per person = $2,000

Vietnam (communist, not allied with the US) average annual income = $600

Any other questions, student boy?
