Since the Second World War, the USA has been by far the most powerful capitalist state, achieving the status of a superpower. The over-riding aim of its foreign policy has been to maintain its hegemony over the capitalist world, including the underdeveloped lands of the neo-colonial world and, until the demise of Stalinism in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, to contain the economic influence and strategic power of its rival superpower, the USSR, a planned economy ruled over by a bureaucratic elite. At each stage it has acted to protect its global position: its economic dominance, its strategic power, and its prestige. http://www.socialistalternative.org/literature/gulfwar/ch2.html-
