re n.vietnam attacks, does the name golf of tonkin mean anything to you? Again.. does NV Violations of Laotian neutrality in order to ship troops/supplies along the Ho Chi Minh trail to attack SV mean anything to you? Let's face some facts here.. Yes, the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu created a "free for all" land grab in SE Asia (Indo-China), carving out states that had not previously existed. Ho Chi Minh saw himself as the "liberator" of all Vietnamese, not just those located in the North. However, close to a million Vietnamese were so afraid they fled to the South and partition was required to prevent further civil war between Marxists and Non-Marxists (Catholics, Buddhists, non-Vietnamese cultures.. etc). That partition, as in the case of the one between N and S Korea, was violated by Hanoi, by circumventing the DMZ via Laos and Cambodia. The aggression was CLEARLY on the part of Hanoi, not Saigon. And ultimately it required taking the war to the North, just as the North was taking it's war to the South by violating the neutrality of Laos and Cambodia. Hawk
