answer:We have only wanted to overthrow a dictator if he threatened to interfere with American corporate profits. Even democratically elected leaders who attempted to mitigate the exploitation of their countries’ resources are targeted for removal from office. The United States has a long history of supporting any country that supports us regardless of their political structure. We have aided the overthrow of any country’s leaders that oppose our political agenda, often replacing them with a totalitarian dictator. For example, after the CIA fomented the “28 Mordad coup” that overthrew the democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh on August 19, 1953, they directed the installation of the Shah of Iran, Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlavi, who effectively ruled the country as an absolute monarch until he was overthrown in February 1979 (see). For more examples one only has to look at the CIA’s involvement in Latin America.
