Larry, what you were suggesting is essentially the Jean Kirkpatrick doctrine. Unfortunately, IMHO, the study of history is an art as much as it is a science. Instead of proving an absolute villain of the US policies, many of the so-called policies were reactive to the one before. Even now, scholars still debate whether Kennedy's policies were a reaction to his father's siding with the appeasement camp before WWII etc. Then, history is a funny thing, reactionist or not. One would have to ask oneself, what if Secretary Dulles willing to shake hand [literally speaking] with Cho En-lai in Geneva. Could the whole Vietnam saga be averted?

best, Bosco
