→Number of Vietnamese Who Supported Communism: comment
I've read several times that two thirds of the Vietnamese population (both north and south) supported the communist government, and that there were meant to be elections but these were refused. Does anyone else know anything about that, and should it be included in the article?

:It was the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time.
:Hitler rose to power with the in invasion of Czechoslovakia; Britian went to war with Germany so another Czechoslovakia would not accor; the entire world was engulfed in what became known as World War II so no more Czechoslovakia's would occur; the North Atlantic Alliance was created, with Czechoslovakia in mind, "for the right of self-determination of peoples," which the Czechoslovakia lost after 1938; the policy of Containment, which was basis of US involvement in Korea and Vietnam was to insure no more situations like Czechoslovakia; the US kept 175,000 troops in Europe upto the collapse of the Soviet Union supposedly so tiny nations like Czechoslovakia would not be invaded and made slaves again.
:While the hippies rioted in the streets, and while the US (as the article states) was approaching 600,000 men in Vietnam, to contain Soviet expansion, and for the right of self-determination of peoples, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. It was pretty obvious at that point, the whole thing was a fraud. That yes, the evil Nazi regime was evil and needed to be destroyed ''because'' it invaded Czechoslovakia. But when the godless commies did it 30 years later, what did NATO & the US do? Nothing. [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 21:44, 9 August 2007 (EDT)
