That would have been interesting, I can see the jokes now,On the cultural front, I wonder if this might mean that Vietnemese guy Tran, who lived next to Harry Hill on that old TV cartoon might be Laotian ITT.

Well looking at the situation o nthe ground the then-President decided that AMerica didn't want a piece of that on either end.
Al lthe more reason to reduce carbon emissions and invest in alternate fuels.Thats correct. That's why we're paying $20 a gallon. If USA intervened on northern side we would've won the war & continuted to create an idology of American invincibility, keeping Iran on side preventing the middle-eastern nuclear war. If on the southern side.... well that's already been pointed out by other posters.
OOC:Why would a single case of refusing interventionism lead to neo isolationism?With the collapse of the Soviet sphere of influence in the middle east following their Invasion of Afghanistan and soviet nuclear weapons falling into the hands of the various factions, Kurds, Sunnies, Shites etc and their sectarian/ ethnic wars, no-one really knows who was responsible for the first bomb, conspiracy theories still abound, Israel, the KGB even the CIA were blamed. What we do know that following the US decision not to intervene in Veitnam, thier policy became isolationist again. Maybe if they still had influence all this could've been prevented.

No, it's not simple at all the U.S. A. rebuilt West Germany, Japan, South Korea and a raft of other countries and contiued to invest heavily both militarily and economically in those countries.Why not?
Rest of the world could view:
Using example of Veitnam - USA not interested in them so why would they be interested in us so whats the point of asking.
Other Alternatives - UK willing but can't affored to intervene. Other 'older' European powers, more interested in self preservation from Soviets. Growing powers - India & China, not yet ready to play a global role.
USA as not wanted, yea like we freed the world from tyrany in WW2 & now you don't want us? OK bye! Simple enough?
