Truman screwed up big time letting France back into their colonies after WW2. Vietnam may not have been communist, but Ho Chi Minh certainly was, but he was also a pragmatist. He made deals with the Chinese Nationalists (Chiang Kai Shek), and later with the French, to achieve Vietnamese autonomy. Both parties screwed him over, and the rest is history. You are right, we never should have backed French imperialism. It's Obama's fault. -- Nom=de=Plume |
