So. one of the great unexplained gaps in our policy is why the United States refused to exercise any legitimate moderating influence on the Government of Pakistan. No amount of explanation of actions after the fact by the administration seems to be able to answer that question. No official statements issued now can explain the administrations silence while the people of East Bengal were slaughtered. or terrorized. From the moment that Bengali refugees began to stream into India. the Pakistani situation became an international situation. At that time. the matter should have been brought before the United Nations. Because of the failure to take that step or any other action to cool off the situation. we saw another inexorable march toward war.
