More than 30 years after the end of the Vietnam War, Americans are still debating whether or not it was right to intervene in a civil conflict that itself was a product of someone else's (i.e., France) colonial adventure.

Conversely, for those who believe America was wrong to be in Vietnam, the media were heroes.
