Yes, good points. El Salvador could also be included in the list. The US
gave $6billion to the government there to beat up on its won people (death
squads and Viet Nam war-like tactics (napalm, assassination, free-fire
zones, etc) before we realized that the horror we were producing was too
much, even for us, and backed down leaving the place destroyed. The same
type of politicians and political analysts infused the US government during
the El Salvador war as during the Viet Nam one.

Actually, many 3rd world markets are emerging and are now important to the
US economy as buyers of goods produced wherever by US companies: China,
Brazil, Philippines, Argentinia, etc.
