If our decisions and actions are to be wise, we must guard against hasty, ill-considered policies founded more on wishful thinking than on sober hard fact. Every effort must be made to avoid being sucked into a violent whirlpool due to false pride or pious hope, yielding to small noisy groups, or by deluding ourselves that somehow we will muddle through. Our campaign must be founded on a clear political objective that is anchored on the bedrock of reform. Clever slogans that attempt to justify political expediency have no place in policy. No crime is greater than for a president to send a young soldier or marine off to die in defense of a protection racket passing itself off as a "friendly government." Book jacket.
