The communists won the classic pyrrhic victory in Vietnam. Almost three decades after they won, their country remains economically unsound and politically repressive. Like North Korea, Cuba, Albania and a few other nations which organized and strived as surrogates in the Cold War and became believers in the communist system in a way in which the big communist countries were not, these countries are stuck now with an ideology that will not lift the people up, and with a group of former allies and handlers who are no longer willing nor able to help them.
