"History of U.S. Military Interventions"

"The media has told us repeatedly that some Middle Easterners hate the U.S. only because of our "freedom" and "prosperity." Missing from this explanation is the historical context of the U.S. role in the Middle East, and for that matter in the rest of the world. This basic primer is an attempt to brief readers who have not closely followed the history of U.S. foreign or military affairs, and are perhaps unaware of the background of U.S. military interventions abroad, but are concerned about the direction of our country toward a new war in the name of "freedom" and "protecting civilians."

I ran across this information doing some research. I do not know much about Zoltán Grossman. Goggle search brings up alot more of his current writings, especially about Iran.

Yeah, that horrific coup in which we convinced the Shah to dismiss him PM (as outlined in the Iranian constitution). Mayhaps we should seize all the foreign auto manufacturer assets in the US?

Interesting to note the large amount of "interventions" done during the Reagan years, fighting communism.

WTF, USS Cole refueling in Yemen is "intervention"??????

How do you fight communism anyway? Capitalism bombs?

You could ask Goldwater and Reagan, but both are dead.
