Neo, I left plenty of room on my list and I think your adds are fine. I would argue to Keep Ho on for several reasons - 1. He sent the French packing when they thought to reoccupy after WWII. 2. He (should have) illustrated for American leaders that association with "communism" wasn't always the worst option. 3. He caused the most powerful country in the world to make stupid mistakes and pay dearly for them. 4. He was a catalyst for a lot social unrest in America, that we still haven't gotten over. 5. His forces were ultimately a stabilizing influence in the Killing Fields of Cambodia. 6. Along with Soviet support (and, strangely enough, U.S. interests) he just may have prevented Chinese domination of Southeast Asia. 7. Great beard :-)
