The USA has toppled and/or interfered with, the governments of the
following countries:
- The Philippines
- Cuba
- Pakistan
- Chile
- Iran
- Panama
- Saudi Arabia
- Bolivia
- Hungary
- Czechoslovakia
- Turkey
- Iraq

The above lists are not complete.

I got this information from the following sites ( amongst others);
http://homepage.mac.com/maurerd/USBombing.html
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Te...ne_STATUS.html

The USA has supported the following sadistic, and corrupt dictators:

Emperor Bao Dai - South Viet Nam (1949 – 1955)
Ngo Dinh Diem - South Viet Nam (1955- 1963)
(Chiang Kai Shek - China / Taiwan 1928 – 1975)
Syngman Rhe - South Korea (1948 – 1960)
Park Chung Hee - South Korea (1960 – 1979)
General Chun Doo Hwan - South Korea ( 1960 – 1979)
Fransisco Franco - Spain (1935 – 1975) Although excluded by the UN, the USA signed a military assistance pact with this character)
Marco Vinicio Cerezo Arévalo - Guatemala (1985 – 91) CIA had supported it financially with military with $ 10 million.
Anastasio Somoza - Nicaragua (1936-1956)
General Suharto - Indonesia (1967 – 1999)
Shah of Iran - Iran (1941 – 1979)
Pinochet - Chile (1973 – 1980)
Fulgencio Batista - Cuba (1952-1959)
Saddam Hussein - Iraq ( 1979 – 1987) Was supported by the USA to fight against Iran.
Rafael Leonidas - Dominican Republic (1930-1960) Was initially supported by the USA.
Molina Trujillo - Dominican Republic: 1930-1960, he was trained by members of the U.S. Marine Corps (the Dominican Republic was then under U.S. military occupation)

Morena Manuel Antonio Noriega - Panama (1983-1989) He had been an agent of the CIA for years, including the time when Bush Sr. had been CIA Director.
Husni Mubarak Egypt ( 1981 - ?)
Francois Duvalier Haiti: (1957-1971) Kennedy provided him with military assistance
Jean-Claude Duvalier Haiti: 1971-1986 USAID undertook to turn Haiti into the "Taiwan of the Caribbean”
Ferdinand Marcos - Philippines
Musharraf - Pakistan

After World War II , has any other country acted as aggressively as has the USA? Personally don’t think so.

Is George Bush’s claim that he wants to spread ‘freedom & democracy ‘ to be believed?
