Big Mac In Vietnam

But we've failed before at war, and good things can happen afterward:

Harvard-educated Henry Nguyen, whose father worked for the South Vietnam government and who left the country as an infant, returned 14 years ago. As chairman of Good Day Hospitality, the master franchisee of McDonald’s in Vietnam, he opened the country’s first McDonald’s restaurant last year.
“I have seen a lot more young Vietnamese from abroad come here to work at everything from state-owned businesses to private businesses to foreign-invested businesses,” said Nguyen, the son-in-law of Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.

I visited Saigon for the first time in April of 2010.  Sure felt like Hong Kong circa 1979, so full of opportunity.
