This is the real tragedy of Viet Nam-that history has denied it the chance to grow and evolve in peace...
...Concurred unanimously on "The Inadmissibility of Intervention in the Internal Affairs of States," an action that the Russians had hoped would condemn the U.S. for its stand in Viet Nam but which was broadened to include Communist subversion as well...
