Lee thinks there's some point to buying time with a shield because he
believes in the great-man theory of history. And the great man is none
other than Lee Kuan Yew, who thinks that because of his own competence
and shrewdness Singapore has succeeded where South Vietnam has failed.
"If you can find the group of men who could do it," Lee said in Dunster,
"Saigon can do what Singapore did." In fact, the prime minister boasted,
"If one looked at Saigon and Singapore in 1954, one would have said
Singapore was the goner, not Saigon."

Because he believes one great man makes the difference, Lee blames the
Eisenhower administration for America's present dilemma, because
Eisenhower "permitted Diem to systematically eliminate all alternatives
to him." South Vietnam no longer had a pool of talent from which a
hero-ruler might emerge. "You can't go talent-scouting for leaders like
in a telephone directory," Lee points out; "the British didn't create me."
