	30-year Anniversary: Tonkin Gulf Lie Launched Vietnam War
		Rather than being on a routine patrol Aug. 2, the U.S. destroyer Maddox was actually engaged in aggressive intelligence-gathering maneuvers — in sync with coordinated attacks on North Vietnam by the South Vietnamese navy and the Laotian air force.
		On the night of Aug. 4, the Pentagon proclaimed that a second attack by North Vietnamese PT boats had occurred earlier that day in the Tonkin Gulf — a report cited by President Johnson as he went on national TV that evening to announce a momentous escalation in the war: air strikes against North Vietnam.
		In the absence of independent journalism, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution — the closest thing there ever was to a declaration of war against North Vietnam —; sailed through Congress on Aug. 7.

		At the seminar Dr. Tonkin shared five reasons to learn another language: (1) to increase awareness of the complexity of the world; (2) to keep a language and culture alive; (3) to expand the limits of conventional societies; (4) to promote a better understanding of one's self and (5) one's own language system.

	Animal Info - Tonkin Snub-nosed Monkey
		The Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is found mainly in primary subtropical lowland broadleaf forest on steep limestone hills.
		The decline of the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is due mainly to habitat loss from both permanent and shifting cultivation as well as hunting for meat and for use in Oriental medicine.
		Currently, the distribution of the Tonkin snub-nosed monkey is restricted to between longitude 104 deg 54' - 106 deg 03' E and latitude 21 deg 43' - 22 deg 28' N. It may be limited to two isolated groups.

	washingtonpost.com: Remember the Gulf of Tonkin
		When the reason occurred -- two alleged "unprovoked" mosquito-boat attacks on U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin -- a national crisis atmosphere was created and a resolution was introduced for congressional approval that gave the president the authority to respond to the provocation.
		Fulbright, in turn, stated on the Senate floor that his understanding of the intent of the resolution was that it was to permit only a response appropriate to the alleged provocation.
		The lesson of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution is clear: There is every reason for tough and explicit limiting language that does not allow for the usual rhetorical gambits that thereafter can be used by an aggressive administration to claim support for whatever it wants to do, no matter what.

		Tonkin was bordered on the north by China, on the east by the Gulf of Tonkin, on the south by the historic region of Annam, and on the S and W by Laos.
		The region of Tonkin was conquered in 111 BC by the Chinese, who ruled until they were ousted in AD 939, at which time the area became independent.
		After the division of the Vietnamese lands between two dynasties in 1558, the northern half was ruled from the city of Tonkin (modern Hanoi); thus the name of Tonkin came to be applied by Europeans to the whole area.

	Tonkin Gulf and the WMD Issue
		Both the Vietnam War and the US-Iraq War of 2003 were triggered, to a significant extent, by false reports—claims that the governments against which the United States decided to go to war had done things that they later were discovered not to have done.
		The biggest differences between Tonkin Gulf and the issue of Iraqi WMDs relate to their vastly different time scales.
		Part of the reason for the difference was that the Congress, remembering Tonkin Gulf, was less naïve in 2002 than it had been in 1964.

	Gulf of Tonkin
		The claim that the administration of President Lyndon Johnson deliberately triggered the Vietnam War by orchestrating the Tonkin Gulf incident and duping Congress is not a new one.
		The result of whatever actually did or did not happen in the Tonkin Gulf was that, by overwhelmingly approving the resolution, the U.S. Congress ceded to the president the power that America's Founding Fathers endowed only Congress--the power to declare war.
		For the Tonkin Gulf incident itself, McNamara endorses the hypothesis of former Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs William Bundy: "Miscalculation by both the U.S. and North Vietnam is, in the end, at root of the best hindsight hypothesis on Hanoi's behavior.

		An illuminating, almost minute-by-minute reconstruction of the events that took place in the Tonkin Gulf in August 1964, and an analysis of decisions in Washington that led to the massive American escalation of the Vietnam War in 1965.
		My only complaint is that the author says that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was based on a "misunderstanding" and not "knowingly faked." Even if that is true, the fact remains that it was used as a convenient excuse to escelate war.
		In addition, the fact that there was no effort on the part of the government to determine the facts behind the Tonkin incident demonstrates that the government wanted war, and were just looking for the right excuse.

		Most unfortunate is the fact that the provocations or attacks by the North Vietnamese in Tonkin Gulf, which was cited as the pretext for launching this war, apparently did not occur.
		For decades since the Tonkin Gulf incident, many considered its allegations to be a lie or speculation.

		On Aug. 4, 1964, North Vietnamese torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin were alleged to have attacked without provocation U.S. destroyers that were reporting intelligence information to South Vietnam.
		On Aug. 7, Congress passed a resolution drafted by the administration authorizing all necessary measures to repel attacks against U.S. forces and all steps necessary for the defense of U.S. allies in Southeast Asia.

		The immediate response of the United States was to send a stern message of warning to the North Vietnamese, advising them that unprovoked attacks would not be tolerated, but U.S.-sponsored military missions in the area continued.
		The Senate had scheduled a hearing on the incident in order to consider a resolution in support of the President's actions, and on the afternoon of 7 August, Congress passed the Tonkin Gulf Resolution giving the president the authority to use any measure necessary to deal with aggression in Vietnam.
		The Tonkin Affair is also detailed in Truth is the First Casualty: The Gulf of Tonkin Affair--Illusion and Reality by Joseph C. Goulden (1969).

		Now, four decades later, the memory of the Tonkin resolution permeates the congressional debate granting President Bush authority to wage war against Iraq.
		The political pressures to support the president are just as strong as they were in 1964 with the White House pushing members of Congress for quick action to show a unified front, congressional experts say.
		It was the first time that Congress had passed a war resolution since the Tonkin Gulf.
