The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution

The thesis of the article is the Vietnam has always been a controversial war and probably a lie. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a resolution saying the U.S. will defend there interests in the area near Vietnam. The evidence the author has is they never really bombed the Maddox and congress was forced to passing the resoltion. The whole thing was really one big lie. The author relates it to the Dubious Crusade when he says people doubted the The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.
