i dunno what it was meant to do...i read your statement, i heard the same thing in high school...meanwhile maybe saving face or lookin' powerful was part of the motive...maybe the falling dominoes theory was a smokescreen, just like the MWD's ?

again a quote "A National Security Council Member advised him, It is very important that the government have a major anti-Communist victory to its credit...here (vietnam) the odds are still in our favour"

maybe this comment is better..."he (jfk) was looking for an area in which his foreign policy, too, could produce a resounding success, especially after bay of pigs humiliation"
