Noam Chomsky dismisses efforts to resurrect Camelot—an attractive
American myth portraying JFK as a shining knight promising peace,
foiled only by assassins bent on stopping this lone hero from
withdrawing from Vietnam. Chomsky argues that US institutions and
political culture, not individual presidents, are the key to
understanding US behavior during the Vietnam War.
