I think this book by Bill Blum might be a useful tool for members of

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT
Did you think that the 78-day US/NATO bombing of Yugoslavia last
year was
an act of "humanitarianism"? If so, you might want to consider
nominating
General Pinochet for the Nobel Peace Prize.
In an endeavor to put things in perspective, I've written "Rogue
State: A
Guide to the World's Only Superpower." It is, in effect, a
mini-encyclopedia
of all the un-humanitarian acts of the US government during the past
half
century.
The book tries to break through the mind set of those -- foreigners
as
well as Americans, and of various political leanings -- who begin with
the
premise that the United States, in its foreign policy, means well, and
cling
to that premise no matter what destruction and suffering the US inflicts
upon
the masses of people in every corner of the globe.
For those who don't need this message, the book can still enlighten
and
serve as an excellent source of reference for all kinds of issues
concerning
US foreign policy and world affairs.
You can read the Introduction and some of the chapters and -- now
the
shameless pitch -- how to order a copy at:
