Sorry for the typos. I hit the "post" click-on prematurely.

In retrospect many argue that we should not have gotten involved at all. Counter to conventional wisdom the domino theory was actually correct in reality. The involvement in Vietnam actually resulted in taking the wind out of the sails of other communist insurgencies in the region (i.e. Indonesia is a perfect example of this). Had we not gotten involved more nations besides South Vietnam, Laos, Burma and Cambodia would've fallen. Nixon's Vietnamization scheme could've worked. We now have no way of knowing that. Unfortunately, during the end-game the Democratic led congress betrayed the South Vietnamese by refusing to resupply them. Something the democrats seem to quite easily forget.
