Because just topping dictator is not enough, you also have to manage coup and support right side (i.e. those who are in favour democracy, secularism and market economy). US sucks at finding and supporting right side. If US just assassinated Castro but did nothing else communist regime won't fall, it can even gain stronger support from masses. The coup should be well prepared and US should feel responsibility about what will happen after. Coup is definitely very difficult and complicated surgery.

>US sucks at finding and supporting right side. No, they do a perfect job at finding the right side. They always install, whatever is best for them, ie. American Corporations. The US does not care about human rights, it's all just used to legitimize their position. Capitalism has no conscious, it ONLY does what is most profitable, whatever it might be. What should they gain by having a democracy somewhere else? "Free Markets", is another topic. The US loves those, especially if their companies can expand their "market" or, even better, use the locals to produce under inhuman circumstances. Considering that, I believe the US is a "great" imperialist power, and really good at choosing their puppets. What a pity those "stupid cubans", didn't give the US a second chance to exploit them under a different puppet. It would have been a lot better.
