Laos, Thailand and the Blindness of the Lett
Sir,—Mr Maxwell writes:
1. | "Three years ago the West conspired to overthrow the neutralist government of Laos ..." |
2. | "The Royal Laotian army was built up whilst the economy of the country was allowed to stagnate." |
3. | "The Laotian people ... favour a neutralist line." |
4. | "... the triumph of Communism in Laos would be unlikely." |
5. | "... aggressiveness of Red China ... constitutes one of the major threats to world peace." |
6. | "Well our troops are off to Thailand to defend the democratic government of Thailand ..." |
Yeah. It's news to me.—Yours, etc.
