Since the end of the Cold War

Since the end of the Cold War, I have run this test: I can't for the life of me--and I should not--be in the same camp of the US-Israeli alliance.  The US wanted to blur the lines after the end of the Cold War and to convince the world that ideological labels don't matter and that it abandoned its former agenda.  Many progressives bought that line: Fred Halliday--among other progressives--supported the US-led war in 1991 on Iraq.  The US did not abandon its agenda after the end of the Cold War: it merely becomes more fanatic in its implementation.
