Özet:

 

The sense of alarm and outrage toward communism abroad and the  welfare state at home expressed by Senator Capehart during the early years  of the Cold War has uncanny parallels to the current situation in the United  States. The deadly attacks of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent  invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq remind us that the past is prologue to the  present. Relentless American expansion in the half century after 1945 has  been replete with irony, paradox, and contradiction. The brutal process of  global domination, including control over critical economic markets, runs  roughshod over longstanding ideals of democracy, human rights, the rule of  law, and international cooperation. With the pivotal election of Ronald  Reagan to the presidency in 1980, the right wing instituted not only a  renewed reaction against New Deal programs, but an effort to contain the  social and cultural transformation of the 1960s and 1970s, including the  momentous opposition to the Vietnam War.
