Well we didn't fight all the enemies in WWII we should have. If we had bombed Russia like von Neumann wanted, then the whole sweep of Communism and all those deaths and war might have been avoided since Mao would have known we meant business, so yeah, time to walk away and let Chiang Kai-shek have the country back. Wimps like Eisenhower don't have the stomach or the intelligence to do what needs to be done.

Fair, but we followed an interventionist path, rather than a conquest path. That's my ultimate issue here. I'm okay with conquest, but I despise half hearted victory. Since WW2, we've followed a path of "just enough" but it's never really been enough. If it's not enough, it shouldn't be engaged with at all.
