 Online NewsHour: The Marshall Plan at 50 -- June 5, 1997
LARRY BLAND: Marshall was very well liked in Europe partially because the leadership elite over there recognized that during World War II he had been devoted to keeping the allied coalition together.

He quoted a former staffer as saying, "Until the very end he was a major promoter of the line that 'The Russians are coming and they're ten feet tall.' "
Though Silverstein holds that Marshall "has been an enthusiastic supporter of Star Wars schemes," current and former colleagues contend that Marshall--who, despite being enamored of futuristic weapons concepts, writes in longhand, does not use a computer and doesn't have call waiting, according to Winik--is much more subtle and circumspect in his support of NMD.
Another claim Silverstein found a bit difficult to swallow was a riff from Ricks' Journal piece, in which he asserted: "Well ahead of most Sovietologists, Mr.

In the case of the Balkans crisis, all key elements were missing at the outset, and only disaster brought about the Dayton Plan: a U.S.-articulated “common interest” supported by a NATO- and pan-European force.
Finally, NATO expansion also relies upon a U.S. articulation, although Germany especially supported it before the Clinton administration decided to push ahead.
The Germans and Italians, losers of the war, were also included.

 Marshall Plan
The so-called Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan are particularly glaring examples of the manner in which the principles of the United Nations are violated, of the way in which the organization is ignored.
Moreover, this plan is an attempt to split Europe into two camps and, with the help of the United Kingdom and France, to complete the formation of a bloc of several European countries hostile to the interests of the democratic countries of Eastern Europe and most particularly to the interests of the Soviet Union.
I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.

To appreciate the significance of the Marshall Plan, we must shed the assumption that the Cold War outlines of Europe were already clear in the immediate aftermath of the defeat of Hitler's Third Reich.
