(1) Outside these areas, a haze of neutralism or moderate royalism prevailed, inspired by a number of well-established families, who did their best to collect together men and money for the king.(2) It called on writers and intellectuals to abandon neutralism and say No to Stalin as they had once said No to Hitler.(3) This attitude arose both from the exigencies of the Cold War, especially the danger that allied states might be tempted by neutralism , and from a heartfelt commitment to democratic procedures.(4) It was the Vietnam War which made Sihanouk's neutralism untenable, as Cambodia was used by Vietminh and Vietcong forces as a supply route from North to South Vietnam, and received its fair share of US carpet bombing in return.(5) In the twentieth century they went from high-handed neutralism to reluctant participation in a European adventure.(6) Not just communism but ‘anything hostile to British or American policy’ could be the target of joint efforts; the neutralism of France's new newspaper of prestige, Le Monde, was thought to be particularly subversive.(7) But the WEA leadership, uncomfortable with political comment, preferred a blanket adherence to official neutralism , exacerbating strained relations with their energetic editor, William Emrys Williams.(8) Economic growth was the American way of inoculating them against communism, neutralism , socialism, and other potentially anti-American political orientations.(9) It also served as a lever to check any possible German drift to neutralism , and Mitterrand addressed the Bundestag on 20 January 1983 to urge acceptance of the American missiles on their soil.(10) Once more, then, neutralism was coupled with internationalism to define U.S. military policy.(11) In Bombay he reminded his audience that a vote for Congress was also a vote for it, and his, foreign policy of peace and principled neutralism .(12) Ironically, Scott's conclusions depart from the book's overall revisionist theme, as he describes pragmatic American policies that were not uniformly ranged against Arab nationalism, revolution, and neutralism .(13) Pacifism absolutises peace at the expense of justice, and neutralism turns fence-sitting into moral superiority.(14) Wisner agreed that a standing Congress could pull European opinion away from neutralism , but ordered Lasky and Burnham removed from prominent positions in any ongoing project.(15) Diana Trilling responded to Rahv's review in the July 1956 issue by calling the book an example of the kind of neutralism in world affairs that often masked pro-Communism.(16) I say that they stand for neutralism where no such thing is possible or desirable, and I say the hell with it.
