Abstract

Calculus for '68

Kenworthy, Eldon | January 8, 1968 issue

The article presents a discussion on ways of ending the Vietnamese conflict. The U.S. entered this war more for ideological reasons than for any precise notion of geopolitical or economic interest. When one compares the history of U.S. policy toward Eastern Europe with that toward Latin America, it appears that ideologically motivated policies, while pursued more single-mindedly at the time, may be easier to alter over time than economic or geopolitically rooted policies. The U.S. will have to make de-escalation and withdrawal respectable.
