Fiktion ist ein sehr mächtiges Werkzeug für den Geschichtsunterricht. Die Philippinen waren der erste Irak, das erste Vietnam, das erste Afghanistan in dem Sinne, dass es sich dabei um die ersten Erfahrungen der Vereinigten Staaten oder um die Tauferfahrung beim Aufbau von Nationen handelte.

Foreign aid is neither a failure nor a panacea. It is, instead, an important tool of American policy that can serve the interests of the United States and the world if wisely administered.
