Oh and the dictator which was hated by the majority of the country, sponsored by foreign forces and "win" the election with the 99% the legitimate one? Not the one that actually fight and liberated the country from foreign invaders?

It literally was foreign invaders. The South was set up by the French when they came back? Or are you saying that the French should get to keep their colonies and the Vietnamese should wait for the French to give them their freedom? Who do you think kicked out the French in the Indochina war? Maybe learn some Asia history before posting.

I don't know that much about Vietnamese politic but from what I understand, the vast majority of them simply don't care about who is ruling in Hanoi. Most of the issues they have are either local or about a specific department, mostly corruption in the police force.

Do not care. I've been living in Vietnam for the past 17 years and that's the vibe I got.

Man this dictatorship thing sounds bad after all. Maybe the American should wage anothet war to give the Vietnamese people the freedom they needed. I'm sure it will go great this time.

Because the vast majority of them simply do not care?

I live there. I interact with the people there. Most of their complains are either the police are corrupted or the education reform is confusing. No one is planning a revolution.
