I Think The New Generations In America,

We Didn't Do Anything Wrong, But Among The Lessons Learned, Given The Magnitude Of The Problems We Now Face In Afghanistan, A Major U.s. Force On The Ground Would Convince The World We Were In For The Long-haul Recovery Of A Country Devastated By 21 Years Of Warfare.

You Know, It's Very Clear, As One Looks Back On History Again Of The Cold War That, Following The Crisis In Cuba, Following The Khrushchev - Beating Down Of Jack Kennedy In Vienna, That President Kennedy Believed That We Had To Join The Battle For The Third World, And The Next Crisis That Developed In That Regards Was Vietnam.

As I Look Back At The Span Of The Cold War In Those Early Days, In The '50s, For Example, There Was A Great Deal Of Soviet Propaganda Here In The United States, But It Was Clumsy, And It Was Anchored To A Lot Of Ideological Support In Certain Circles In America Itself.

I'm The Only American Alive Or Dead Who Presided Unhappily Over The Removal Of A Vice President And A President.

That's Not A Lie, It's A Terminological Inexactitude.
