I don't dispute that removing the existing South Vietnamese government was the right move, they were laughably corrupt, but after nearly fifty years there I wonder if it would have been worse just to let them fall to Communism and realize it doesn't work like everyone else.

I don't think a Vietnam united under Hanoi would learn that lesson. Hanoi is too deep in its own insanity.
