As a doctrinaire cold-warrior I suspect Stone made it up. Mao had more political tact than that. There was too much psychohistory and not enough materialism in that movie. I can't remember but did Stone use the infamous Nixon speech where he said "Cambodia is the Nixon doctrine in its purest form." ? Sam Pawlett
