...Communists succeed in their aggression," said Thai Premier Thanom Kittikachorn, "we would be the next target. This action is being taken in direct defense of Thailand." Thailand turned a deaf ear to Hanoi's raucous denunciation of this "new and odious act of treason by the reactionary Thailand government clique." After all, about a third of the guerrillas who are operating in its northeast are Vietnamese who have slipped across the Mekong River from Communist redoubts in Laos to join Chinese-trained Thais and some members of the Pathet Lao in spreading terror through the region...
...good. There are a huge number of committees, boards, bureaus, departments and commissions in New York doing very little that is visible to the naked eye--except, of course, absorbing a steady flow of public funds. And they do, as Buckley claims, succeed in totally obscuring who is paying for what, and what is being accomplished by whom...

In Nigeria, Tanzania, and the American Civil Rights movement, people want to gain independence, but they need help from larger society. At some point revolutionary movements may have to compromise their radicalism in order to succeed. Still they must hold off compromise as long as possible to attain independence in the end. Peter Weiner's article called "Guatemala: the Aborted Revolution" is distressing because it places most of the blame for the failure of that revolution on the United States. If American aid is so important...
