Also the irony that is a South American country saying "We will not interfere with the US electoral process" when the United States has backed coups, rebellions, drug wars, etc., in efforts to manipulate theirs... Don't get me wrong, the high ground is endearing. Except it apparently took a call from John Kerry to do so.

In many cases, the US has only had the support of a few, in some cases minuscule number of people. In many cases they had no consent from either the government or the populace. Your example implies that the US was only in South America at the behest of the countries in question to do _their_ bidding, not the US's.

  "Manipulate" I thought my wording was strong enough, but yes absolutely what you said.
