In an article that appeared ten years ago in Foreign Policy entitled, "American Hegemony - Without an Enemy," Christopher Layne, a senior fellow in foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, and Benjamin Schwartz, an analyst in the International Policy Department at the Rand Corporation, explained what was really driving U.S. foreign policy (i.e., the pursuit of world domination), and why the U.S. would ultimately have to find another MASK behind which it could continue its pursuit of world dominance. Now - ten years later - that's exactly what the U.S. has discovered: a new MASK - i.e., the "War on Terrorism" - behind which it can continue seek mastery of the world. That's exactly the conclusion that Howard Zinn, professor emeritus at Boston University, says. Zinn writes:
"There is another important connection between our situation today and the Cold War.

The word 'communism' was used to justify the most egregious violations of human rights. So much that went on during the Cold War was justified in the name of fighting Communism, leading to the deaths of millions of people ...

In 1954, the United States overthrew the government in Guatemala, which was not Communist but which was expropriating the United Fruit Company.
In 1973, the government in Chile was overthrown in the name of fighting Communism. The government was not Communist, but it was not serving the interests of Anaconda Copper and ITT ..."<<
