However, for the cognoscenti and American historians, this presupposition can be challenged. The most outrageous example were the doings of the CIA at the behest of the American United Fruit Company in Guatemala with the consequent loss of over a million civilian lives.
Then there was the contrived pretext of the Gulf of Tonkin incident by which LBJ got his OK to do the American war in Vietnam. Thus war was famed for the dropping of a tonnage of bombs on N. Vietnam that far exceeded the total dropped by the U.S. for all of WW II everywhere.
There was a subset of fame to this war. By U.S. victory it would stop a series of dominoes from toppling over. The U.S. lost this war and miraculously, none of the dominoes toppled over.
What does this teach you? It teaches you that you cannot unquestioningly kow-tow to American argumentation with respect to the things they intend to do. A recent outstanding example of this was the American war in Iraq to evince regime change because Saddam had WMD. It was all illogical and all false.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
So, perhaps, if this could come about, some good might come out of it:
