      I read this on Wikipedia. Immoral. From the mid- to late 19th century, Guatemala suffered chronic instability and civil strife. Beginning in the early 20th century, it was ruled by a series of dictators backed by the United Fruit Company and the United States government. In 1944, the authoritarian leader Jorge Ubico was overthrown by a pro-democratic military coup, initiating a decade-long revolution that led to sweeping social and economic reforms. A U.S.-backed military coup in 1954 ended the revolution and installed a dictatorship.[10] From 1960 to 1996, Guatemala endured a bloody civil war fought between the US-backed government and leftist rebels, including genocidal massacres of the Maya population perpetrated by the military. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala

  I think you are completely misinterpreting what I wrote. I know exactly what we have done and it is horrific. I object to wording which in my view is quite paternalistic, as if other nations are things that our meddling can change without regard to other internal and external forces and the will of people who can act in ways we cannot and never will be able to control.
