>Had this country elected Barry Goldwater in 1964, Vietnam would have likely ended much sooner with a much better outcome than the bloodbath in 1975. You want to read about one of the most vicious acts of torture, read about the acts of the Khmer Rouge in 1975.
After the French had been driven out the US had a chance to come to an accommodation with the Vietnamese, instead you supported the creation of South Vietnam and caused a decade of war. the Goldwater reference is no surprise though I think he would ultimately have withdrawn sooner than Nixon.
