    That judgment, however, is not shared by Administration foreign policy specialists, the American intelligence community or many foreign diplomats.

The U.S. put much effort into suppressing "people’s movements" in Chile, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Laos, Grenada, El Salvador, Guatemala, etc.

    “The weaker and poorer a country is, the more dangerous it is as an example. If a tiny, poor country like Grenada can succeed in bringing about a better life for its people, some other place that has more resources will ask, 'Why not us?'”
