Part of man's destiny; it's part of his history now...so yes, it was a noble cause.

From the point of view of America, no, one of the greatest superpowers on the planet lost to a tiny country on the other side of the world. They were humiliated and became too involved due to an irrational fear of communism.

But from Vietnam's point of view, it is split, rural people living in the countryside were definatly for communist and saw it as an attractive idea, but urban residents were up for the country to remain capitalist. All in all yes it was woth it

That is a relative question. It depends on how you look at it. The pessimist can say that the Korean pennisula is still divided, so yes the status quo was maintained and nothing was accomplished. However, South Korea is a thriving, economically powerful, democratic nation, and this was only possible due to the fact that the North Korean invasion was defeated. So IMHO, no it was not pointless. In the grand scheme of things, the Korean War was a strategic victory for the West, even if it was tactically and operationally a stalemate.

Whether or not fighting the Korean War was worthwhile is a matter of opinion. Many feel it was worth it because the U.S. was fighting communism.
