This article is quite insightful, for example, it quotes from the USA State Department's Directory of Policy Planning in 1948, finding clear foundations for the behaviour of the USA since, which includes this summary worthy snippet: "We should cease to talk about vague — and for the Far East — unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of the living standards, and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are hampered by idealistic slogans, the better." Even this quote cannot begin to embody the totality of the events of the last 75 years, but the article provides some insights that may be useful.
