1. If the United States had not overthrown Mossadegh, do you think the history of terrorism would have turned out differently?

3. In Guatemala & Iran, the motivation for overthrow was publicly described as a desire to rid the countries of communism. However, did the U.S. misunderstand nationalism for communism?

4. What was the common denominator for the US activities in Hawaii, Cuba, Iran, and Guatemala?

Hawaii

Kinzer ends chapter 1 stating, "Stevens acted without explicit orders from Washington. He certainly overstepped his authority...he used his power and theirs to depose the Hawaiian monarchy." Considering this observation, Kinzer's book argues that history does not repeat itself but rather it delights in patterns and symmetry. What does this overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy suggest for American Foreign Policy in the future? (What will it allow American Foreign Policy to do in the future?) Do you agree with the flexibility of American interventions? Why or Why not? What current events can you link to Kinzer's belief that American Foreign policy is not always "explicit" to the American people and can be at times very "subversive?"
