39. For me it was worthwhile because,
with each chapter I realized how pervasive our meddling in world affairs is. Also, it is the same old story over & over again with each place we 'invade': promise the moon, deliver crap. And much as I loathe our own corporate/government role in the deception, the leaders of the countries we go to, with very few exceptions, don't have any more concern for the indigenous people of these areas than the US interests do. Everyone is motivated by greed, including the author.

I do think his message is a good one, albiet one that most Americans don't want to hear, & that is, our government does things that we think only other governments do.
