...that they have no right to get involved in our internal affairs. But in fact they are involved. And if they are sincere, they must get even more deeply involved and help South Viet Nam remedy past political mistakes. The Americans cannot let government leaders damage their anti-Communist goals. They must look at Viet Nam much like a business. If you invest money in a firm, you have some say about who should manage it and how he runs...
...Cambodia, volatile Prince Norodom Sihanouk declared "civil war" on local Viet Minh and Communist infiltrators from Thailand, who are raising havoc in Battambang province, and accused the Communists of tying up with the subversive Thai Patriotic Front to cause trouble. Normally a soft-pedaler of anti-Communist alarm, Sihanouk finally seems to have, recognized the root of much of his trouble-at least until he changes his mind again.

Her leaders must decide that an inefficient, corrupt, fanatically anti-Communist government in Saigon for all eternity is not a valid aim of national policy. Once this is done--and Thieu's regime is appraised at something less than $25 billion annually--the problems of peace-making, phasing-out, and neutralization will get the attention they deserve in Washington. The U.S. government should find that the achievement of these goals requires no more ingenuity than the deployment of troops outside the Pentagon, the development of antipersonnel weapons, and the termination of trips...
