Notes on John Foster Dulles

Tufenkian Carpets Area Rug Sale.

Cover of Time Magazine October 12, 1953

Foster Dulles was one of the most disruptive bumblers in the history of US Foreign Policy. Dulles was a man without a firm moral basis point. Dulles was a leader in the ultra liberal anti-Christian group the Federal Council of Churches the predecessor of the N.C.C. the National Council of Churches. Bent on separating the Church from the Bible Dulles carried that philosophy into American diplomacy. Dulles was not interested in exporting democracy or the American way. Instead he made the Status Quo his God. His reckless adventurism in Central America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Iran, have sewn the seeds that have haunted our country for the last 50 years. His bumbling brinkmanship forced India into the arms of red China. His oil grab that placed the Shah of Iran in power was directly responsible for the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeni and the seizure of the US Embassy in Teheran in 1979. Lay at his doorstep, Cuba, Nicaragua, Viet Nam and so on. Fighting Communism was good but fighting it so poorly and corruptly was awful.
