From that time until its final decline after the White Hun sacking of the 6th century A.D., Gandhara was swept from conqueror to conqueror.

A notable exception was Dwight Eisenhower who at his weekly press conference declared that "there was never any plan [for military intervention in Indo-China] developed to be put into execution." The President tempered his denial by adding that Eden was "not an irresponsible person" and undoubtedly was "writing the story as he believes...
