Answer:
It was certainly convenient as a reason for expanding American involvement in the Vietnam War.
Explanation:
In 1964, the American government claimed that American naval ships had been attacked in territorial waters in the Gulf of Tonkin. The attacks were unprovoked.
President Jonson took these claims to Congress which subsequently passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. This, in effect, gave Johnson carte blanche to escalate US involvement in Vietnam without the restrictions of declaring war.
The Pentagon Papers, published in the 1970's subsequently proved that the claims, along with the rest of the information published by the American government justifying US involvement in Vietnam were falsehoods.

In The Lorax, which is a children's book written by Dr Seuss and first published in the late nineteenth century. In the book, the author speaks to economic and industrial issues as it affects the environment.
The Onceler in the Lorax used to be an agent of environmental destruction and tells his tale from a point of regret. It is in the course of telling the story of how he masterminded the destruction of the environment in the valley that once contained a forest of Truffula trees and a range of animals that he mentions how his idea diffused into the valley.
Where he came from people wore Thneeds and they wore in around their necks. In the valley, they didn't. Nobody knew what a Thneed was. He relocated to the valley because of what he thought was a business opportunity: Demand for Thneeds. He then tries to sell the Thneed which was made out of the Truffula trees but the people of the valley were not interested.
After several attempts at sales of Thneed, he gives up and throws the Thneed away. Just then, it hits a girl who starts to wear it as a hat. Somehow, people take a liking to the Thneed as worn by the girl and they all rush to the Onceler to make one for them.
So in the above, narrative, we see a Stimulus Diffusion of an idea or culture. The Thneed was a new idea which got diffused into the culture of the people of the valley. Not only that, but they also changed the way the Thneed was being used where the Onceler came from.
