Hue-Tam Ho Tai believes that there was no loss for the United States because of the failure of the Paris Peace Accords. She says that the United States used the agreement as an "excuse" to leave Vietnam. Because of the agreement, the United States were able to create a distance between them and the fall of South Vietnam. The war was costing the United States too much loss in money and people, and they had no need to stay. When negotiating the agreement, she says, the United States never expected the agreement to last. They knew that leaving Vietnam meant attacks on South Vietnam by the North. In addition, to create better relations with China and the Soviet Union, they had to leave Vietnam. This specialist helped us visualize another perspective on this heavily debated agreement. Since everyone has different view on things, opinion is very important. We used her answer to help create a different perspective for the audience.
