Are America’s wars, on behalf of US citizens or to fatten the bank accounts of American corporations & defense contractors (who sponsor Members of Congress) as well as to ensure there is no alternate economic model to the ‘capitalist’ model US & West promotes? The list of US interventions since 1945 and the state of these countries thereafter should provide answers to countries lining up to be America’s ‘partner’ in South Asia or any other part of the world.India & Sri Lanka must redraw its foreign policy taking stock of the situation.US citizens have to pocket $2trillion for 20 year US presence in Afghanistan but it was the US Corporates & Defense contractors that walked away with the bounty (opium/gas/oil/minerals). Is this the model being followed elsewhere too! The victims of all US interventions are the US citizen, the US soldiers, the citizens of the nation’s US ‘delivers democracy’ to.
