Well, we toppled the government of Chile.

We tried to do the same in El Salvador.

We once tried to invade Cuba.

We overthrew the government of Panama.

We supported a coup and then funded a recall movement in Venzuela.

We bombed cambodia and lied about it during the Vietnam war.

We mined South American harbors.

We tried repeatedly to assasinate Fidel Castro.

And that's just the stuff that happened during my personal liofetime that I can recall ff the top of my head without doing any research at all, not even using Google.

I'm NOT a huge anti american guy either. I think on the whole we've done more good than bad in the world. I'm just saying the only reason for thinking lots of people all over the world don't have reason to think of us as trouble is ignorance.
