...with it, would make such an outcome virtually impossible. The alternative, which might please both Saigon and Washington, would be a "Korean solution": a South Vietnamese government strong enough to fight the North to a standstill, leading not to a formal peace but to a semi-permanent armed truce. In Korea, of course, that was possible because of the presence of U.S. ground forces and the existence of a vigorously anti-Communist population...
