What is the main thesis of the essay?
It was based on a lie.
What was the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution?
The congressional approval for Johnson to defend the US beliefs in the area.
What evidence does the author give to support his thesis?
No evidence that there had been a shot fired. There was no damage after the incident. Many say Johnson invented the whole thing to get Congress to support fighting in Vietnam.
How does this link to the theme of the first reading?
It's another way of saying how entering the war was doubtful for the US.
