That implies that only Autocratic regimes can do shit to other countries
Is it not democratic for Roman Emprerors to genocide tribes after a poll from the people voted for it? [/bq]
The problem with this statement is none of us voted for it. All of the time it was appointments made outside of the Democratic sphere or operations conducted away from the public eye. US operations in Latin America weren't open and public affairs and only really came out as being US military and intelligence affairs after the fact or well into it. In these cases even the CIA or operating allies of the CIA has tried to kill or had killed journalists who were going to bring shit to light on what happened, such as Hugo Spadofora.
CIA-Contra and CIA ops to sell cocaine in the US to fund the Contras weren't really anything anyone agreed to before hand. Neither we're massacres of villagers in Quatemala.
