<< First true thing you've said.... Check into the countries you mention---CIA/US backed governments all >>

What type of involvement does the CIA have, or have they had in Nigeria, Somalia and Algeria?

I'm not saying that the US hasn't screwed up in many areas of the world. To me, Vietnam was the worst screwup of all!

The US has also done a lot of good around the world.

But, what is your point? What is the net effect of supposed CIA/US backing of Algeria, or Somalia, or Nigeria? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

My original point is that those who favor anarchy instead of democracy should look around the world at the results of anarchy. Of course, anyone who favors anarchy isn't in tune with the real world.
