What you failed to mention was that all these interventions were bipartisan in nature.

America's non-ending interventions in Latin America are well documented. We've supported the Somoza, Pinochet, and Batista regimes. We intervened in Honduras and El Salvador and Argentina. The US has a lot of blood on its hands. Then we turn around and accuse other countries of human rights violations. At this point, we have lost all credibility. We have a great country.
It could be better if we elected our leaders with more diligence.
La cebolla? Donde esta el tomate y el aguacate para ser guacamole?
Mexico is ready; they have rocks, chile, mazapan and resorteras/slingshots and bikes. Mexico also has The Rose of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Plus the Esquadron 201 that helped the USA defeat all enemies during World War II. The Aztec Eagles were 30 pilots that fought for the USA.
