Ok, you show me your history and I'll show you mine. You are making a lot of claims about various regimes but are not showing how they came to be so. Do a rehash starting from the confiscation of the ME by the British from Turkey and I'll listen to why you think "governments across the Middle East or across the Islamic world were set up that way".

You should vacation in Central America and ask the inhabitants what their views on the School of the Americas is for instance. There are plenty of other examples in Latin America and Africa.

BTW, one of Costa Rica's national holiday celebrates the defeat of an American adventure, one William Walker in 1856 who did a good job of nearly conquering Central America.
