Nixon was a very quixotic individual and some of the ominous developments resulted (or accelerated) from his global policies. India and Pakistan would still be non nuclear nations had it not been for Nixon who showed his "tilt" towards butchers of pakistan who raped so many Bangladeshi women (figures run into 100,000 and multiples - no less, and killed even more people) by sending in the US Navy (don't know details). He fumbled in many policies but I guess he is remembered for the policies that succeeded. The perceptions in India of potential threats, especialy of coercion and blackmail intensified after Richard Nixon, US president in 1971, stated in 1985 that he had considered using nuclear weapons during the Indo-Pak War in 1971, although more in the context of China intervening (the reason why India had signed the treaty with the USSR); see Richard Nixon, Time Magazine, July 29, 1985.

May I point out that you evaded the main thrust of that comment? "And may I point out that Vietnam was almost entirely a DEMOCRATIC war? Yeah, Ike put in the first troops- -a few hundred. JFK multiplied that 10 times; LBJ nearly a couple hundred times. " At Kent State University in Ohio, where Sihanouk had once visited in his campaign for Cambodian independence, students sacked the campus ROTC building. Ohio governor James Rhodes responded by ordering National Guard troops to quell the riots. Within a day 15 students had been shot by the Guard, four of them killed. They rioted. They got shot. D**m. Tough luck. You know, it's very stupid to throw stones at armed soldiers. You throw bullets, artillery, or nukes, or stay home. Admission standards musts be very low at Kent State. I expect better of college students.
