PRESIDENTS AND THEIR "DOCTRINES’
During the Cold War, most U.S. presidents articulated policies that journalists quickly dubbed their "doctrines." The policies were seldom that simple, and calling them "doctrines" tends to make them sound more clear-cut than they were. Nonetheless, they are convenient handles to help us remember who stood for
what. Notice that all these doctrines are just variations on the first, the Truman Doctrine, sometimes called the "containment" policy, from George Kennan’s 1947 article (see Chapter 2). The overall goal’of U.S. foreign policy did not change much: Stop communism. Only the intensity and costs changed.

Contain the expansion of communism, presumably everywhere. Use nukes and spooks to prevent Communist or other radical takeovers. Respond flexibly to communist expansion, especially to guerrilla warfare. Follow through on Kennedy Doctrine by committing U.S. troops in Vietnam. Supply weapons but not troops to countries fighting off communism. Continue Nixon Doctrine.
Make clear to Soviets that Persian Gulf is a vital U.S. interest. Sponsor anticommunist guerrillas who are trying to overthrow pro-Soviet regimes.
