Therefore we install a dictator to give us what we want in return for us not causing "unstability" there. Chile is a well documented example of this.

And those choir boys in the Soviet Union never, ever, engaged in such behavior at the time.

Well, the Cold War was on and that was the decor, and it's nothing but Monday morning quarterbacking to say that Chile would have been some kind of democratic paradise had Pinochet not arrived in power.
