43. Thomas Powers argues that "Opponents of the war often argued whether
it was becter to work within the system or in the ..reets, but in fact
success depended on pursuing both strategies simultaneously. Without
those few intellectual leaders who first opposed the war on grounds of
policy or morality, there would have been no broad movement. Without
a movement, national division over the war would not have needed a
point of crisis in 1967; and without the crisis, there would have been
no effective political challenge to Johnson's power at the one moment
when he had to back away from the war, or commit the country to a
vastly increased effort with a dangerous potential." Powers, p. 318.

'standing armies'."

47. Daniel M. Smith, in his history The American Diplomatic Experience
(Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1972) pp. 35-36, points out that
George Washington's farewell admonition against permanent alliances
was directed specifically against American sentiment for an alliance
with France; however, it was often interpreted by subsequent generations
as a justification for isolationism and became an enduring
thread of American foreign policy especially in the 19th century.
