Remember, too, that the French actually understood that the nature of the war was not "Communism" vs "freedom", but imperialism vs. nationalism. We never did quite get that.

PD,
I never claimed US didn't step all over it's collective dick, was just trying to show examples of events that occured prior to the dates Serge listed.
Yes the French started fucking with area in 1500s and 'created' Indochina from 1850s-1900 there abouts... This doesn't preclude Japan from having diddled the area prior to that... (or along with the French during that timeframe)... Much more is written on Korea-Japan history but if you've good source for the region would be happy to read it...
