I call them blunders out of charity. Other people use a harsher word. "Betrayal." Let me remind Senators of some of these "blunders." We blundered in Yugoslavia when we chose Tito over Mihailovich. We blundered at the end of World War II when we sent back to Stalins slave camps thousands of Russians who had fled to us seeking asylum from his tyranny. We blundered in China when we forced Chiang Kaishek to accept field marshals of the Communist cold war into his own antiCommunist government. At 10 minutes of 3 this morning we blundered again when we voted to strike at the economy of the Dominican Republic. which had been our ally in the cold war which has now advanced to the Caribbean.
