Why would you have even needed to?

There is a very good reason the United States,
and the South Vietnamese didn't want or allow a national vote
in 1956 as proposed by the Geneva Declaration.  
For starters what was the prospect of a fair election.  Ho CHi 
Minh, or Uncle Ho as you say, came to power by exterminating 
all the REAL nationalist opposition.  Since N Vietnam had a 
sizeable larger population, Ho Chi Minh could have easily rigged
the election for N Vietnam Victory.  How are these numbers for 
you:  during the time period for pheasant relocation in 1954,
for every 13 persons to leave N Vietnam to go to S Vietnam 
only 1 S Vietnam Person left to go to N Vietnam.  The Vietnamese
people as a whole didn't want Communism, or death or HO, they 
knew democracy was best without any intervention by United 
States.  How can you hate America when there main purposefor 
fighting was to free the Vietnamese people.  Lets not forget,
Uncle Ho was a communist not a nationalist.  He didn't give a 
damn about the Vietnamese people.  He only cared about controlling
the people.  That is a fact.  The United States under the great
President Richard Nixon program Vietnamization really helped
the People of S Vietnam and Would have helped N Vietnam two if
 it weren't for you Uncle Ho!
