Foreign Policy

Share

While drinking coffee, I gazed at the morning Times (Jan. 18) and was struck by two sections juxtaposed on the kitchen table: the editorial commenting on the RAND study discussing the failure of U.S. strategy in El Salvador, and next to it the article in the Business section describing the increase in terrorist attacks on our business people overseas.

It seems apparent that the primary cause of these attacks on Americans outside the U.S. is our own foreign policy. After generations of mucking around in other countries’ internal affairs, is it any wonder that they would be at least a little peeved?
