South-East Asia
Sir,—We should do everything in our power to prevent another world war, and it is quite satisfactory so long as President Johnson brags about the United States being “stronger than the combined might of all the nations in the history of the world” and does not put it to the test. However, this matchless military monster is being defied at the present moment by small cut-in-half nations such as South Korea, Laos, and South Vietnam. The further threat of a base in South Asia, and the decision at the Honolulu conference to kill all, burn all, and destroy all, in South Vietnam without in the meantime attacking the North will please both sides in the presidential campaign. Yet Mr McNamara needs a bul-let-proof vest in Saigon.— Yours, etc., P.J.A June 24, 1964.
