It is simply international law, that countries don't have the right to invade each other to replace leaders they don't like. Look it up.

Very true. There is even a name for it: "Sovereignty".

True even if there is no invasion involved. Unless, of course, you are the US and decide to replace the democratically elected president of Chile with a brutal dictator just because his leftie views are not to your liking, projecting the country into a bloodbath whereby many thousands are tortured, killed, or plain simple lost.

I am referring to Pinochet and the US support who placed him in power, for those of us who do not know our history.
