re:"crushing of budding Iranian democracy in the early 1950s and the support of the brutal regime of the Shah of Iran"

Did you know, that a year before Iran's democratic Prime Minister was removed in a Coup, he was granted dictatorial power from Parliament, then a week before the coup (August 3,1953), tried to dissolve the Parliament.

Second Pinochet was an absolute disaster to Chile. I've read, that by the time the coup started, even the Copper workers (from the mines he had nationalized) were striking against him.

Anyway, that was during the Cold War. Since the end of the Cold War, democracy has spread through out Latin America - the notable exception being Cuba. You are spouting old propaganda the Soviet Union tried to spread. I don't think even the Russians believe this crap anymore.
