Specifically, this is to Ken Perlow re the Domino Theory and his "I
don't buy it (the theory)"

I've my opinions on Viet-Nam, just as everyone else in the country seems to;
and I'm sure mine are as strong as any you may have. (I just missed
being there by 1 year, and had many friends on both sides of the fence).
But I'm only posting here to answer Ken's scornful spurning of the
Domino Theory:  as much as I hate to admit that the crowd that ran
that war were right about anything, in this, they were right.  Look at
what happened in surrounding countries after the collapse of Saigon...

I just wish we (the USA) could have found some acceptable way to be on
the same side as Ho Chi Minh.
