We shall have another carefully dramatized Dien Bien Phu. to show. in an atmosphere of heroics. that it is impossible to stop the Reds. Then we shall have more wringing of hands by our officials because more millions of free people are going behind the Iron Curtain. The Red Chinese will shoot in cold blood most of the 700.000 refugees from north Vietnam whom our Navy transported to the south. if the pitiful refugees do not first kill themselves. The blame for our stupidity and weakness will be trumpeted all over Asia. while our officials say. "We couldnt do anything. Our allies would not let us help. because a little show of courage might start a world war." If this sounds familiar. it Is where we came in. in Vietnam. a year ago.
