Since many netniks may be too young to remember, let's try to be a
little more accurate about this.  The govt. the US intervened "in
support of" was a govt. that the CIA itself installed.  And I'd be
curious as to what sort of index one would use to demonstrate that
the S Vietnamese govt. was "far better" than the N Vietnamese.
Diem and his successors were, after all, corrupt from stem to stern
and guaranteed no basic rights to their citizenry.
