Superbelt raises a valid point in that we have no business installing leaders in foreign countries. That seems to fly in the face of our stated belief system.
Given our roots as a former colony, I can't imagine our founding framers being pleased with such actions.
Compound this with the fact that we have overthrown democratically elected officials numerous times for persons more aligned with our country's interests.
I don't understand how any patriotic US citizen can tolerate or defend such actions that blatantly violate our belief system.
