It's probably my pessimism but when Ho Chi Minh wrote letters to Truman and Eisenhower asking for help and independence from the French who were literally treating them like dirt, the U.S turned it down..Same thing happened in Chile and a few other places when the U.S would later invade or back a coup and install a puppet govenrment.
