Shall we debate an issue 50 years stale? Alright. Had we not gone in there, the communist North Vietnamese would have taken over South Vietnam without a fight, and later on would also not have had as much of a fight taking over Laos and Cambodia. As such, communism was significantly impeded, and had we stayed for another few years the independence of South Vietnam could've been assured.

You do realize that the Communists did take over those countries, bolstered by recruitment facilitated by U.S. bombs? In fact, do you even know which country's army put an end to the Communist regime in Cambodia?

Anyway, while I find it hard to imagine how he can do it, my model gives Romney about a <30% chance of winning based on the most recent polls, a ballpark that does not seem to be significantly affected by new polls. Intuitively, I would think this would shrink as the chances of Romney pulling a Hail Mary diminish.

....which country's army put an end to the Communist regime in Cambodia?

The Vietcong were and are clearly the 'Good Guys' in Indochina, at least compared to America.

I didn't even ask which country (besides China) maintained diplomatic recognition and provided support for the Khmer Rouge for a decade after their overthrow.
