A great many of our foreign military interventions were undertaken not to save lives or for humanitarian purposes, but simply to advance the economic interests of the country as a whole or just particular businesses. … I consulted a Congressional Research Service catalogue of U.S. armed interventions abroad since 1798.

Not surprisingly, Latin America was the focal point of many such actions.”
