Why has the United States government supported counter-insurgency in Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, and many other places around the world[?]...Why did it invade tiny Grenada and then Panama? Why did it support mercenary wars against progressive governments in Nicaragua, Mozambique, Angola...and elsewhere?...I shall try to show that the arguments given to justify U.S. policies are false ones...But this does not mean the policies themselves are senseless. American intervention may seem "wrongheaded" but, in fact, it is fairly consistent and horribly successful.
