...dangerous nonsense for us to equate our extravagant declarations regarding Viet Nam with our security commitments toward either Berlin or Japan. In Viet Nam our national interest is marginal; in the others, fundamental. Our friends and allies well understand this distinction; they will identify the two only if they think we are doing...
