4400 XO XERO XERO XEIRO RN - DRAFT NUMBER 4 - 25 - I have chosen the second course. 1. It is not the easy way. 2. It is the right way. 3. It is a plan which will end the war and serve the cause of peace -- not just in Vietnam but in the Pacific and in the world. A PRECIPITATE WITHPRAWAL In speaking of the consequences of defeat or humiliation to the United States, I mentioned that our allies in the world would lose confidence in America. 1. Far more dangerous, we would lose confidence in ourselves. (1) The immediate reaction would be a sense of relief as our men came home. 1. But inevitable remorse and divisive recrimination WHEN we SEE THE Co2 SERVENCES [over having failed to live up to the greatness OR WHAT WE HAVE DOWE, expected of the world's strongest nation, would scar our spirit as people. We have faced our crises in our history and have become stronger by rejecting the easy way out and taking the hard but right way in meeting our challenges.
