How much has Communism spread since vietnam? umm, not at all is the correct answer. The idea that the spread of communism to vietnam was tied to russia is logical, consindering Ho Chi Minh was an avowed communist, educated in Paris and Moscow.
How did John F. Kennedy put it in his inaguration speech?
Quote:
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us we]l or ill, that
we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,
support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and
the success of liberty.

See, there
were reasonable democrats at one time.
Vietnam was a winnable war, it was just run completely wrong. Bombing missions and individual troop movements were dictated from the White House instead of from the battleground. Hippies like John Kerry coming back to demoralize the country didn't help at all. But a man that friendly to communism couldn't help but hope for a US Loss.
That's John F. Kerry with Tom Harkin meeting with Daniel ortega, Communist Sandinista leader.
