Noam Chomsky - Turning the Tide U.S. intervention in

Introduction
history, both in Central America and elsewhere, and discusses recent US
policies in Central America in this context. In chapter 4, I will turn to
national security policy, the Cold War system of global management,
and the drift towards global war which is, in significant measure, a
result of US government programs that have little to do with security,
but are deeply rooted in the structure of power in our society and the
global concerns of dominant institutions. Finally in the last chapter, I
want to consider the domestic scene: the dedicated efforts that have
been undertaken by dominant elites to overcome the democratic revival
of the 1960s, and the opportunities that now exist to engage in
constructive work to deter terrible crimes, to reverse the race towards
global destruction, and to enlarge the sphere of freedom and justice.
