[QUOTE="donner, post: 3034722, member: 277"] While i wont pretend to know how things would be different, there just seemed like so many points where things would have gone another direction if one or two things had changed. If Wilson had seen Ho's petition, if the OSS medic hadn't rendered medical aide, if Truman would have received any of Ho's letters, if Dooley hadn't died. I thought Ho quoting Jefferson after the Japanese defeat was very surprising. Heck, even the stuff about Kennedy not wanting the war, but being unwilling to withdraw and give up the territory to the communists because of what it'd do to his reelection chances was interesting. And who knows what would have happened if Kennedy had lived and things not been passed to LBJ [/QUOTE]
