Jag lyssnade igenom en del intressanta tal av Kennedy och Nixon häromdagen. Den 3 November 1969 höll Nixon ett tal till nationen angående kriget i Vietnam. "The Great Silent Majority" http://www.americanrhetoric.com/top100speechesall.html *** Nixon: "Why and how did the United States become involved in Vietnam in the first place? Fifteen years ago North Vietnam, with the logistical support of Communist China and the Soviet Union, launched a CAMPAIGN to impose a Communist government on South Vietnam by INSTIGATING and supporting a REVOLUTION." *** Om dessa krafter säger Nixon: "Our defeat and humiliation in South Vietnam without question would promote recklessness in the councils of those GREAT POWERS who have not yet abandoned THEIR GOALS OF WORLDS CONQUEST. *** Om anti-krigsdemonstrationerna säger Nixon: "In San Francisco a few weeks ago, I saw demonstrators carrying signs reading, Lose in Vietnam, bring the boys home. … Well, one of the strengths of our free society is that any American has a right to reach that conclusion and to advocate that point of view. But as President of the United States, I would be untrue to my oath of office if I allowed the policy of this nation to be DICTATED BY THE MINORITY who hold that point of view and who TRY TO IMPOSE IT ON THE NATION by MOUNTING DEMONSTRATIONS in the street." Mina versaler *** Var tog dessa mäktiga vägen som VILLE världsherravälde? Finns de kvar men under annat varumärke, eller blev de plötsligt viljelösa efter hundra år av protokollförd planering och hårt arbete?
