5. another quote by the same individual from 1966 at age 22

The same person made these comments at speech delivered in 1966. The person was only 22 years old when they wrote and delivered this speech.

“In most emerging nations, the spectre of imperialist capitalism stirs as much fear and hatred as that of communism. To compound the problem, we continue to push forward our will only as we see it and in a fashion that only leads to more mistakes and deeper commitment. Where we should have instructed, it seems we did not; where we should have been patient, it seems we were not; where we should have stayed clear, it seems we would not...Never in the last twenty years has the government of the United States been as isolated as it is today.”
