What if we had supported Ho Chi Minh instead of the French? The OSS put him in power and saved his life. At one time he was very pro-American.

I had a friend who was a figher pilot in the South East Asia area during WWII. He once told me if you were shot down where Ho Chi Minh's forces were, they would get you back to allied lines. However, if the French got you, they would turn you in to the Japs.

I guess the lesson in history, that still rings true, is if the French are involved, it is going to get screwed up.

We don't even capitalize the french around here. :)
