All you have to do is look at the lack of economic or social progress that has resulted in Vietnam since the departure of the US... Okay, let's look gocvietnam.com You arrive in the lovely Ho Chi Minh City and from there, "Boat trip on the Mekong river which is the longest and most prosperous in Asia." Most prosperous? How'd that happen without us? Vietnam is still with us. It has created doubts about American judgment, about American credibility, about American power--not only at home, but throughout the world. It has poisoned our domestic debate. So we paid an exorbitant price for the decisions that were made in good faith and for good purpose. --Henry Kissinger in Stanley Karnow's Vietnam: A History
