...less unreasonable and dangerous than is implied by Secretary McNamara's "explanation;" they seem, in fact, nearly inconsequential. The United States cannot end the South's civil war by bombing North Viet Nam. It is academic to argue, as the Administration repeatedly has, that Ho Chi Minh "started" the rebellion. The rebellion now exists, and it will not disappear, even if North Viet Nam is methodically bombed into military impotence.
