美"援"和东南亚条约组织

我想着重指出那曾被广泛宣扬的美国对外"援助"和缔结殖民者军事集团的政策两者之间的密切的联系.美"援"所追求的目的首先是那种和各不发达国家的繁荣毫无共同之处的军事——政治目的.美国前空军部长劳立德曾作过很重要的自供,他说:"我们的对外援助实质上几乎全部是军事的."不论是以武器供应的方式出现,或是以     

缅甸与东南亚政治

Euthanasia: why it doesn't matter (much) what the doctor thinks and why there is no suggestion that doctors should have a duty to kill
