Diem was killed in the coup. What followed was a series of military Presidents who were unable to stem the deterioration of the situation...
...friends. But the converse is not necessarily true: the domestic enemies of right-wing friends may not be Communists or even Communist-backed. They may be motivated by grievances and aspirations that Karl Marx never dreamed of-and certainly would not have approved of-although they may be fiercely anti-American. They may be Shi'ite mullahs in Iran or Catholic nuns in the Philippines...
