right? Because, if not, you are literally delusional. The United States doesn't do shit of questionable legality that's for "national security", we do that type of shit at the behest of corporations. The FIRST covert action against a government by the CIA was the overthrow of Mossedegh in Iran, and he was democratically elected. You know why we overthrew him? Because he siezed his nation's oil reserves away from BP(That's BRITISH Petroleum, not the BS "Beyond Petroleum"), so Great Britain asked us to overthrow the Government of Iran, Truman refused, Ike accepted, and low and behold, we had our first, U.S. caused, Nazi trained SAVAK based, massacres of innocent people. Since then, till about the mid 1980s, its estimated the United States has killed at least 6 million people, all in the interests of Corporations.

We have been tyrannical since well before the turn of the 20th century, look up Smedley Butler for pre-WWII interventions, again, for U.S. Corporations.
