American Atrocites

[bed_of_nails]

Could some people help provide me a list of countries and dictators that the US Government has backed and/or put into power?

[rice349]

just a few to name off the top of my head, Diem in S. Vietnam, Pinochet in Chila, the CONTRAS in Nicaragua, lots more though.

[Colombia]

The Shah of Iran and Batista in Cuba.

Noriega of Panama -- he was a CIA angent, then he failed to comply with the U.S over something so they assasinated him. I don't know much background to this. But USA did kill a democratically elected president to instate him.

They did the same in El Salavador.

The U.S. didn't assasinate Noriega, he resides in a prison.

"12/89 The US invades Panama, ostensibly in order to capture Noriega, who is in a Florida prison serving a forty-year sentence for drug trafficking"

Which really is just a convenient way to get rid of an unwanted CIA, School of the America's graduate, personae non grata.

American atrocities made me think of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima & Nagasaki...

some dictators supported by U.S gov:

Noriega of Panama
Banzer of Bolivia
Pinochet of Chile
Videla of Argentina
Galtieri of Argentina
Stroessner of Paraguay
Ríos Montt of Guatemala
Trujillo of Dominican Republic
Somoza of Nicaragua
Batista of Cuba
Rodríguez of Ecuador
Melgar Castro of Honduras

[No. 355728]

I didnt know Hugo Banzer was supported by the US, although it makes perfect sense. Did they support him before or after the coup? (I dont think we should forget Indonisias Suharto, and the attack on Eats-Timor in 1775. )

A good source to check out:
Williams Blum's Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II has a massive list of US invasions/subversions/coups and assassinations/attempted or planned assassinations from the founding the Republic to present day.
