Misguided Morality: Ethics and the Reagan Doctrine
Robert H. Johnson examines the moral arguments for the U.S. policy of supporting guerrilla forces attempting to overthrow Marxist-Leninist regimes in the Third World. He argues that the moral case for that policy is not well grounded in Third World political reality and that most of the arguments made by its supporters relating to the morality of the ends, means, and consequences of the doctrine are not sustainable.
