The "Brothers Dulles" mentions some of that, but there are more sources. Death squads sounds like something you might like. If you condone the Dulles policies. Oh! we also helped train the Iranian secret police.So muslims are not the only terrorists that folks are scared of. You mentioned cold war. did I know about it? 8th inf. div. 1956 - 1959, germany

Kinzer has opposed interventionist U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America. In a 2010 interview with Imagineer Magazine, he stated:

The effects of U.S. intervention in Latin America have been overwhelming negative. They have had the effect of reinforcing brutal and unjust social systems and crushing people who are fighting for what we would actually call 'American values.' In many cases, if you take Chile, Guatemala, or Honduras for examples, we actually overthrew governments that had principles similar to ours and replaced those democratic, quasi-democratic, or nationalist leaders with people who detest everything the United States stands for.[2]

Kinzer's reporting on Central America is criticized by Herman and Chomsky in their book Manufacturing Consent (1988)

In Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change From Hawaii to Iraq, published in 2006, Kinzer critiqued U.S. foreign policy as overly interventionist.

In his 2008 book A Thousand Hills: Rwanda's Rebirth and the Man who Dreamed It, Kinzer credits President Paul Kagame for the peace, development, and stability that Rwanda has enjoyed in the years after the Rwandan genocide, and criticizes the leaders of Rwanda before the genocide such as Juvenal Habyarimana.
