I think the US' record of "establishing deceng government(s)" is a bit poor.  
We put in the Taliban.  We established the dictatorship of the Shah in Iran 
(and we see where that led).  We've established more dictatorships than any 
people in a normal revolution (I think the Irish should be thankful we didn't 
decide to "establish a democracy" in Ireland).  If it weren't for Erhard, 
Germany would now be a dictatorial regime in Europe.

They've just not been as well armed in the past.
