What U.S. policies that he discusses (if any) should be changed?

?We Americans deeply believe that our role in the world is virtuous?that our actions are almost invariably for the good of others as well as ourselves. Even when our country?s actions have led to disaster, we assume that the motives behind them were honorable. But the evidence is building up that in the decade following the end of the Cold War, the U.S. largely abandoned a reliance upon diplomacy, economic aid, international law, and multilateral organizations in carrying out its policies and resorted much of the time to bluster, military force and financial manipulation.?
Chalmers Johnson offers this brutal criticism of U.S. policy in the 1990s, using U.S. policies in Indonesia, North and South Korea, Japan, and China, as well as U.S. policies like arms sales and JCET to bolster his case. While his comments on Al Qaeda at the start of the book appear prophetic his dire predictions for Asia (his area of expertise) do not seem to have been as accurate. In a short (8 page, double-spaced) essay, assess his evidence, arguments, and predictions of ?blowback? against the U.S in these nations as a result of these policies. What U.S. policies that he discusses (if any) should be changed?
