Documents show US considered using nuclear weapons May 2, 2008
The idea of using nuclear weapons to prevent the Chinese from using ships and aircraft to isolate Nationalist-held islands in the strait was accepted by Eisenhower's Cabinet except for Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who was away on vacation. The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Air Force Gen. Nathan F. Twining, had explained at a Cabinet meeting that U.S. planes would drop 10-to-15 kiloton nuclear bombs in the vicinity of Amoy, a coastal city on the Taiwan strait now called Xiamen.

Mispredicting The Future Mar 4, 2008
Thirty years ago, one business magazine reported that "with over 50 foreign cars already on sale here, the Japanese auto industry isn't likely to carve out a big slice of the U.S. market." John Foster Dulles, in 1954, said "The Japanese don't make anything the people in the U.S. would want." Sorry guys, the Japanese are killing us. In 1974, the U.S. Forest Service published a study on "Future Leisure Environments." It predicted that, by 1989, private aircraft would be banned from metropolitan... (Forbes -- Business)
For US foreign policy, it's all power, no influence Dec 10, 2007
The State Department, with figures ranging from John Foster Dulles and Henry Kissinger to Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, became every bit as committed to hard power over soft power as the men in uniform across the Potomac. America became a weapons junkie, and responded with armed belligerence to every foreign policy challenge, from the rise of Moscow to its collapse; from the wound inflicted by Osama bin Laden to the insults hurled by Saddam Hussein.

The Amero conspiracy Nov 26, 2007
The founder of the John Birch Society, a leading source of such imagined schemes, accused President Dwight Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, among many others, of being communist agents. The dissolution of the Soviet Union, the one country that has actually challenged American global preeminence in the postwar period, forced a conceptual adjustment among the conspiracy-minded.

"The power, position and prestige of the United States had been challenged by another state; and law simply does not deal with such questions of ultimate power. For Acheson, any U.S. action to counter alleged threats trumps international law, and law cannot be allowed to interfere with the exercise of the "pre-eminent power" of this country. The belief that although law should apply to others, it never applies to the United States, was internalized long before Acheson's day; and it... (Zmag.org)
Arms and the men Nov 19, 2007
Eight years later, Eisenhower's secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, showed one defense expert the door after his visitor suggested that the United States launch a Pearl Harbor-style nuclear attack on the Russians. President Kennedy was reportedly intrigued, during the 1961 Berlin crisis, with the plan that aides gave him for what they called a "clever first strike" - a scheme to disarm the Soviets by destroying Russian bombers and missiles on the ground.

Through the laughs, tears, and years with 'Carol Burnett' Nov 5, 2007
The show offers clips of Burnett in her earliest years onstage and, on both the Ed Sullivan show and "The Jack Paar Tonight Show" in 1957, singing her faux teenybopper lament "I Made a Fool of Myself Over John Foster Dulles." You can see that she was a radiant crowd-pleaser from the get-go, as she eagerly stretched her face in all kinds of kooky directions for a laugh. She offered strong support on "The Garry Moore Show" beginning in 1959, but came into her own as one of the first women to head... (Boston Globe)

Burnett performed the song on television twice in one week, first on The Ed Sullivan Show and five days later on The Jack Paar Show. (Globe and Mail -- Entertainment)

Opposing the Kurdistan Option for withdrawal Oct 4, 2007
In 1958, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles privately complained that the Arab-Israeli conflict had become "a millstone around our necks." Similarly, any long-term effort to turn Kurdistan into what one Kurdish official described as a "landlocked aircraft carrier" for America could embroil us in an equally bloody morass. So what, if anything, do we owe the Kurds. (Boston Globe)

His view of international political dynamics was a strange concoction of the most heated, impassioned idea of Leon Trotsky -- the permanent revolution -- admixed with the most rigid, Manichaean metaphor of John Foster Dulles -- the domino theory of the Cold War.
