Still, U.S. interests do not always coincide precisely with those of the South Vietnamese government. Therefore the U.S. has reason to press ahead with proposals that just might reduce the shooting-and even lead to some progress in Paris...

Suddenly aware of material progress, they conspicuously and maddeningly lack the means to achieve it. Their acute frustration causes not a revolution in rising expectations, says Brzezinski, but a "specter of insatiable aspirations...
