One of the most crucial decisions that Kennedy made during his short lived presidency was to pull out of Vietnam.
In his seminal work, Rule by Secrecy, Jim Marrs shows how the United States became interested in Southeast Asia in 1951 when the Rockefeller Foundation created a study group comprised of members from the Council on Foreign Relations and England's Royal Institute on International Affairs. This panel concluded that there should be a British-American takeover of this area.
Soon, these goals were being forwarded by John Foster Dulles, who was one of the founders of the Council on Foreign Relations, and who was also President Eisenhower's Secretary of State. And Ironicly enough, these goals were also being forwarded by John Foster Dulles's brother, Allen Dulles, who just so happened to be the Director of the CIA. Hmmm...coincidence? Yeah right.
