question 217

Short Answer

Criticize the following claim based on the material from Chapter 3 of the text.
"My position on Vietnam is very simple. And I feel this way. I haven't spoken on it because I haven't felt there was any major contribution that I had to make at the time. I think that our concepts as a nation and that our actions have not kept pace with the changing conditions, and therefore our actions are not completely relevant today to the realities of the magnitude and the complexity of the problems that we face in this conflict."-New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, when asked by a reporter about his position on the Vietnam War
