Why We're Like This: The American Impulse to Intervene, Stephen Kinzer

Monday, Oct. 22, Stephen Kinzer, author and visiting professor from Boston University explained "Why We're Like This: The American Impulse to Intervene." From the U.S. Navy attack on Tripoli in 1804 to the NATO bombing of Tripoli in 2011, the United States has carried out dozens of foreign interventions. No other country has intervened so often in places so far from its own shores. The lecture explored the motives behind these operations and the effects that they have had. The lecture was sponsored by The Schemel Forum.

I'm really enjoying these lectures by Stephen Kinzer, it explains so much about the U.S mentality about intervening in other countries affairs.
