21. I think it would be roughly the same
Edited on Mon Jul-11-05 10:02 PM by Selatius
The South Vietnamese government was hopelessly corrupt and abusive. Even if Hanoi was unseated from power and the country unified under the South, chances are there would still be human rights abuses similar to ones that go on today in Viet Nam.

Of course, this is conjecture on my part. If the North was invaded, I couldn't tell you the outcome except to say there would be a lot more dead Vietnamese and a lot more dead Americans for an outcome that is uncertain.
