necessary to send our soldiers, but we were fighting to thwart communists and to keep a nation, south vietnam, not a perfect democracy to be sure, but we were fighting to keep them from being overrun by communist opponents. that's not an unworthy cause. it's not an immoral cause. there was no reason for the kind of vitreal that was spouted about this country. you know, i mention in the book that during one of the moratorium protests here, some members of the peace corps flew the flag of the viet cong from their building. that was what changed in the 1960's. and that's one of the themes of the book, not only did they get it wrong about the cold war but consistently got it wrong about us, about america and their criticism has been bitter and wrong-headed. in the long history of human civilization, we are certainly not perfect, but if you read history and you look at the bloody nature and the oppressive nature of most societies and most of the world's history, this place is pretty wonderful. i think we should be grateful for it and yet by all means criticize it. it's part of our freedom and heri

took place because the united states supported, in effect, the creation of a separate country in south vietnam even though it really wasn't a separate country, never was. this is, you know, an outcome of this cold war. and so eisenhower's policies otherwise are open to a lot of question. i haven't done the detailed research on that like i have on this. but he, clearly, chose -- again, typical eisenhower -- not to intervene militarily in indochina. he believed that putting ground troops in the asia was a fool's errand. and i would submit that our american experience since then validates his judgment on that score. anybody else? how are we doing for time? good. i think last question. >> one more question, okay. really good questions, folks. terrific. >> so along the same lines, eisenhower chose, was involved in the bay bay of pigs, and that crisis arose soon after his presidency ended under the kennedy administration. his decision to, to be involved with the freedom fighters in cuba, would he have -- that sounds inconsistent with all you've said about eisenhower's reluctance to engage in brush f

since last helicopters lifted off the american embassy in what was then saigon, the capital of south vietnam. almost four decades since american troops fought a protracted, costly, and losing war. and ever since, that war and how it was fought has dogged presidents and american military leaders. that was the premise of the a new book "haunting legacy: vietnam and the american presidency from ford to obama." it's co-authored by a father and daughter writing team, journalist marvin kalb and deborah kalb. it's very good to have you both here. marvin kalb, why do you argue that the vietnam war and the loss of it was turning point in american history? >> well, because up to that point, judy, the u.s. had never lost a war. friends of mine in europe have always said you guys have never been so lucky. we've lost many wars and we readjust. in the united states it took a long period of adjustments, 36, 37 years now since the end of the war, and we're still haunted presidents are, by the way in which that war affects what they think about. are we going to lose another war? how do we get out of another

in quick succession, beijing picked separate fights around the south china seas with vietnam, the philippines japan. china angered south korea by not condemning aggression from the north from pyongyang which sunk a south korean ship. all these asian countries have been relatively sanguine about the rise of china. suddenly they began to realize it presented not just economic opportunities a big market for them but challenges, even threats. so they spoke out against what they saw as chinese bullying and aggression. and they became far more solicitous of america, far more friendly to washington. now this could not have pleased china. this was not the peaceful rise strategy that beijing had long talked about. but chinese officials said little about all this publicly so no one knew if they believed they had overplayed their hand. after all, they could just as easily taken the view that the world was envious and was ganging up on them and that would just bide their time which brings us back to that hotel in singapore. after year for the last ten years the shangri-la dialogue is the place where defe
