Honestly? Surely you jest! If anything, the current interpretation of Vietnam by the american media is already what you want. They depict NV as a saint fighting against imperialism while the US as stupid. NV invaded South Vietnam and Laos, helped the Khmer Rouge, took help and advisors from the soviets and PRC (not totally about imperialism, eh?), flagrantly violated the rules of war, cleansed and supressed both religious and ethnic minorities, brainwashed their own into using suicide tactics, violated the core of the paris peace accords, re-educated South Vietnam, enforced single party rule, and so on. And no South Vietnam isn't a saint either, but North Vietnam has a habit of surpassing any of their transgressions by a good margin. If it wasn't so political important to many ideologies, NV would be seen in a far less sympathetic light. American interpretations of Vietnam are arrogantly about themselves.
