, i would regard it as a mistake--i think that the civilians being killed in north vietnam, or south vietnam, i think that the terrorism that existed in north vietnam was a mistake: i think that the terrorism--the killings that took place in hungary during the 1950's were a mistake; and i think that some of the actions of president diem in south vietnam were a mistake. i think that the united states at various times have been associated with governments which do not represent the will and the wish of the people, and i think that that is most unfortunate, but i don't go on this program, and i don't think governor reagan goes on this program, saying that we never made a mistake and that we never erred, because i think we have. but if we look at the present times, if i might say to you, if we look at the present time, the fact is, the-united states is willing to have elections in south vietnam, willing to abide by the result of those elections, willing to permit an outside group to come in and supervise the elections, and it's the north vietnamese that are unwilling to accept that. let me also

i don't think it takes place in south vietnam because of the protests here. i think if all protests ended and if all of the objections to the war came to an end here in this country that the war in vietnam would continue. i'm sure to some extend the fact that there are some protests gives some encouragement to others. but i certainly don't think that is the reason that the war is continuing and why the casualties are going up. >> i definitely think that the demonstrations are prolonging the war in that they are giving the enemy who i believe must face defeat on relative comparison of the power of the two nations, they are giving him encouragement to continue to hold out on the hope that the division here in america will bring about a peace without defeat for that enemy. many of the demonstrations taking place in this country could not legally take place if there was a legal declaration of war. so we i think are faced with a choice here. but again i'm sure the senator agrees with me. america would guard this right of dissent because i think the greatness of our

the fact is that the insurgency against that's taking place in south vietnam is being supported by north vietnam. if both of us withdraw and let the people of south vietnam determine and decide what they want, what kind of government they want, what kind-of future they want, what kind of economic system they want to establish, i think that's all we're interested in, that's all we're interested in accomplishing. so i think it's quite different than you've described it. mr. collingwood: governor reagan, what about you? governor reagan: well, i think we're very much in agreement on this, that this country of ours has a long history of non-aggression but also a willingness to befriend and go to the aid of those who would want to be free and determine their own destiny. now, i think all of us are agreed that war is probably man's greatest stupidity and i think peace is the dream that lives in the heart of everyone wherever he may be in the world, but unfortunately, unlike a family quarrel, it doesn't take two to make a war. it only takes one, nless the other one is prepared to surrender at th

insurgency that the that is taking place in south vietnam is being supported by north vietnam. both of us withdraw and what the people of south vietnam determine what kind of government they want and what kind of future they want, what kind of economic system they want to establish, i think that is all we are interested in. is quite different than you have described it. >> governor reagan, what about you? former president reagan: we are very much in agreement of this. this country of ours has a long history. nonaggression, but a willingness to befriend and go to the aid of those the would want to be free and determine their own destiny. i think all of us would agree that war is man's greatest affinity. pieces of treating that lives in the heart of everyone wherever you may be. unfortunately, it does not take two to make a war. it only takes one. and let other one is prepared to surrender. i do believe that our goal is the right of the people to self-determination and not have a system forced upon them. thisst five minutes ago on program you said that every man has the right of

he basically says, that i have been sent out here with the mission to defend south vietnam. with south vietnamese losses, they will take over vietnam and -- within three are four months. if you want to save this country i need for our combat maneuver battalions. and i will hold the line. and if you want me to move it back, i will need more for -- forces in phase two. which i will then use on an offense of campaign. by the way, to deal with this north vietnamese escalation, johnson starts bombing. you start bombing the north. the rationale is produced by robert mcnamara is pressure on hanoi to give up. we are going to be so tough that will convince the vietnamese communist that they can never win in the long run. so we ought to give up now. we get into 1966. where are we in 1966? we have bombing going on. we have 173,000 american troops going in the country and by mid-1966, another 20,000. johnson has something like 300,000 troops committed to land warfare and he has a bombing campaign. and at this point, an antiwar is -- movement is being formed. this point -- it was mentione

west moore larnd says i have been sent out here with the mission to defend south vietnam. with the current trend in north vietnamese increases and south vietnamese losses they are going to take over within a few months. then, if you want me to actually move the communist back, i am going to need more forces in phase two. which i will then use on an offensive campaign. by the way, to deal with this north vietnamese escalation, johnson starts bombing. starts bombing the north and the ho chi minh trail. and the rationale produced by mcnam marra is pressure on hanoi to give up. we are going to be so tough that we are going to convince the communist that they can never win in the long run. so we get into '66 and where are we? well we have bombing going on. we have 173,000 american troops going in the country. johnson has something like 200,000 american troops committed to land warfare in vietnam and a bombing campaign going. and at this point, an anti war movement is being formed. this point, and it was mentioned to you before, i suggest to you is the beginning of the division i

british troops come back to south vietnam, chinese troops come to north vietnam, and there is a free-for-all among to who will create the government, who will have the power. in early september, ho chi minh and others staged a leninist -- in hanoi.a way they proclaim themselves an independent. that night i will get so much of it is fair or in here which we americans don't know enough about. that night, members of two political groups of the vietnamese nationalist side, they met to say what are we going to do about the communist the enemy skies that they set up the government? some men in the room wanted to fight. the leader said, we will not do that. good vietnamese do not shed the blood of other vietnamese. they didn't strike back at communist. to halfine months, 1/3 of the men in that room had been killed by communists. on september 9, 1945, the official gazette of the vietnamese government issued this order. i will read it to you and vietnamese than english.

vietnam doesn't have close ties with north korea. but the issue as you laid out very well is china and the south china sea. etnam and china don't get along. they have a troubled history. they fought a war in 1979. vietnam is probably playing, you know, hedging its best with china because china isn't going anywhere. that geography isn't going to change in its relationship with the united states, the military relationship is warming. last year they ended some sanctions on arm sales to vietnam. just transferred some coast guard ships to vietnam. so it's a critically important country with 90 million people with a powerful growing economy that could be a even more bigger player in that part of the world. and help the united states advance its interest. liz: but president trump has been very clear. he has done with unfair trade advantages that other countries have. we have a significant trade imbalance with vietnam. 32billion-dollar trade deficit. what does that mean? they two or three way more to us than we do to them. they're buying all of our stuff. >> we're talking about $15 billion in trade deals here. thin
