Though one could possibly see how some of the Vietnam people could want a unified nation, the real conflict was against the blinding totalitarianism that was Communism. A plan to bring freedom to an otherwise somewhat autocratic society was never tried, just military conflict against the Communists, and only in the South. The President needed to establish a strategy for winning and have a vision of what victory looked like. It should leave the people of Vietnam better off than they were before. Unfortunately, it seemed that the Johnson Administration wanted to do something symbolic, not substantive; the real reason behind the eventual collapse of South Vietnam which resulted in the combined immense suffering of the Boat People, 'Reeducation Camps' (Concentration Camps) and the crippling effects on American military planning which thankfully (no thanks to liberals) are being overcome.

Most of us have never bought into the idealistic portrayal of the N. Vietnamese communists . Ideology can separate the closest of brothers as it continues to do in North and South Korea. And just being brothers didn't heal the animosity between Jacob and Esua and Cain and Abel in the Genesis accounts, not to mention the all-out war between King David's sons. Believing that the North and South Vietnamese brotherhood would be a force far great enough to bring true peace to all of the people is simply another liberal fantasy.
