>From what I know, the basic facts are correct. Of course, political debate, policy analysis, etc. can be waged endlessly on how those facts should be interpreted.
Furthermore, without _all_ of the facts, some of these events might be hard to properly address and debate. I don't fault the writer for not delving into all of the facts. Clearly his purpose was to give an overview and promote a particular doctrine, so I do not expect him to go into detail. However, that doesn't mean his basic thesis is sound, since we don't really have the time or inclination to investigate each incident in detail and find cause to eliminate the ones that might undermine the writers position. Clearly, the U.S. has engaged in some nefarious activity that no clear-headed person could condone, such as over throwing a democratically elected government. But the overall thesis of this page is that 1) The U.S. should never interfere in another country; 2) The U.S. should not protect U.S. business interests aboard. As a general principle, I reject both of these suppositions.

I would be interested in seeing this same timeline minus the opinions and slanted statements. Without having a solid background in modern history it's really difficult (obviously the author's intention) to separate the facts and opinions, and to put it all into context. -Cameron > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 9:23 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: History of American interventions > > > Obviously biased, but it's an interesting quick timeline. > > http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Blum/US_Interventions_WBlumZ.html > > jon > > ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
