Sound Familiar?
Fifty-three years ago William F. Knowland, Republican Senator from California and the Senate Majority Leader, wrote an article for the January 24, 1954, issue of Collier's magazine entitled "Be Prepared to Fight in China":
"We must not fool ourselves into thinking we can avoid taking up arms with the Chinese Reds. If we don't fight them in China and Formosa, we will be fighting them in San Francisco, in Seattle, in Kansas City."
Happily, President Eisenhower ignored that advice.
