"Arno Mayer observes that, since 1947,
America has been the chief perpetrator of 'pre-emptive' state terror....Besides the unexceptional subversion and overthrow of governments in competition with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, Washington has resorted to political assassinations, surrogate death squads, and unseemly death squads.... It masterminded the killing of Lumumba and Allende; and it unsuccessfully tried to put to death Castro, Khadafi and Saddam Hussein.
These 'rogue' actions worsened local political and economic conditions and were of a piece with equally unscrupulous blockades, embargoes, military interventions, punitive air (missile) strikes, and kidnappings, always in the name of democracy, liberty and justice"
