Don't drop it all on Bush. Clinton should have started talking with Khatami when he was elected, Guardian Council be damned.
The US government, as a whole, has problems letting go of grudges. Think Cuba. I'm amazed we get along with the Vietnamese as well as we do.

Well Vietnam is kind of special. Especially since My Lai; Agent Orange and other such unfortunate decisions; combine it with the facts Vietnam of today is not exactly the Viet Cong and that the US retreated (i.e. abandoned) south Vietnam with the consequences it had. Furthermore mutual economic interest tends to simplify mutual diplomacy.
So all in all there is not really ‘something left’ for the US government to be begrudging the Vietnamese really.
