Abstract

In the opinion of these media outlets, America’s failure to achieve victory in Southeast Asia was due to an inherent weakness at the foundation of the nation’s foreign policy. Those who wrote for Human Events and National Review argued that the misdirection and uncertainty that plagued the war strategy of the Johnson and Nixon administrations were due to the divisiveness in the country over the ramifications of the civil rights movement and the Great Society. Conservative commentators believed that the disunity among the nation’s citizenry, combined with the failure of the two administrations to do whatever was necessary to win the war, caused the United States’ credibility as a combatant in the Cold War to be questioned around the world.
信誉的侵蚀
在这些媒体看来,美国未能在东南亚取得胜利,是由于美国外交政策的基础存在固有的弱点。《人类事件》(Human Events)和《国家评论》(National Review)的撰稿人认为,困扰约翰逊和尼克松政府战争战略的误导和不确定性,是由于民权运动和“伟大社会”(Great Society)的影响导致美国国内出现分歧。保守派评论人士认为,美国公民之间的不团结,加上两届政府未能采取必要措施赢得战争,导致美国作为冷战参与者的可信度在全世界受到质疑。
