Analyzing Al Qaedaism

Three major events are responsible for the rampancy today of Al Qaedaism, the doctrine of Al Qaeda, an Islam extremist organization.

本文从一个批判性的视角,探讨了20世纪六七十年代美国对拉丁美洲的政策。美国对拉丁美洲政策的转变是从林登.约翰逊时期开始的,而决定性的转变发生在20世纪60年代中期。面对该地区不稳定性的增长和美国控制能力的下降,尼克松政府认为,遏制西半球激进主义的最好办法就是培植当地的右翼势力,包括军人政权。这一政策取向既根源于尼克松个人对第三世界能否实行民主的怀疑,也在于他热切希望减轻美国在世界上的军事负担,维持这一地区的基本稳定,不给美国的大战略造成干扰。但这种做法忽视了人权,必然遭到拉丁美洲人民和美国民众的反对而无法继续下去。
