“It is my personal conviction that almost any one of the newborn states of the world would far rather embrace Communism or any other form of dictatorship than acknowledge the political domination of another government, even though that brought to each citizen a far higher standard of living.”

Subjunctive Question: Was the formation of alliance groups the best way to go about the containment of Communism? Although the Eisenhower doctrine could be said to be effective, could a different method have limited the tension with Russia and the 'ghost' wars in other countries?
