Sir: Despite all its obscurities, the war in South Viet Nam is a Chinese test of our resolve to contain their expansion by whatever means necessary. The Chinese can see that a victory for them in Viet Nam will raise their bargaining stature in the inevitable nuclear showdown between Communist China and the West.
If Washington trembles at the prospect of conventional war with China, we will surely hide under the bed when China finally confronts us with nuclear weapons. Sir: What is the matter with these foolish people who talk about negotiating with the Communists over South Viet Nam? Sir: The farther we go with Viet Nam, the worse off we are. It may cost a great loss of face to pull out now, but the loss will be much greater if we are forced out βwhich is inevitable. Sir: To advocate patience in the face of possible Communist domination is to advocate disaster.
Sir: You refer to the problem of inadequate protection for our landing strips and encampments in Viet Nam. This is outrageous. In this age of scientific advancement, we surely could provide sufficient protection for our men and our bases anywhere. Westmoreland could set up electric eyes at certain intervals and guard these positions with only a few soldiers, making an almost foolproof fence around the base or the airstrip.
Sir: What bitter irony. In his heart, Lyndon knows Barry was right. Sir: Where is the integrity of the West German government in its meek surrender to Egyptian blackmail [Feb.

Government when it tiptoes around instead of positively and proudly meeting the defense requirements of Israel, the only Western-oriented country in the Middle East?
Sir: As a naturalized U. Nasser harbors openly many ex-National Socialists and war criminals who have escaped German jurisdiction. For all I know, the murderers of my family are among them. Fort Leavenworth, Kans. Sir: What does Israel want to do with these arms? Do the Zionist Israelis wish to kill more Arabs? The Palestinian Arabs, of whom I am one, lived in Palestine centuries before the Americas were discovered, and yet you mention nothing about the ugly crimes of the Zionists against us.
