 | | Ronald Reagan and Genocide: the Biography of an Ideal | | by ziad, Aug 27, 2007 | | Ronald Reagan has always been aware of the scourge of Genocide, notwithstanding his selective and politicized views. Certainly, Reagan was not a principled humanitarian, one who sought to objectively filter foreign policy through the lens of human rights. Rather, his views of human rights were highly inconsistent, depending largely on his ideological interpretations of the Cold War as they were represented in international relations. This helps to explain Reagans hands-off support of terrorism in Latin America and the direct sale of weapons to an acknowledged enemy of the state, Iran, as well as the invasion of Grenada and other international aggressions. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 0 |
