Don't forget how atrocious that was. Here's the thing, not only is history written by the victors, but so are the values and anti-values. Overthrowing governments will just be rationalized as A-OKAY in the US history text-books.
Never forget US+the west supplied saddam with illegal chemical weapons, even samples of anthrax
Never forget iraq then used illegal chemical gas against iranians which killed 100k+ total, probably some of their own too
Never forget that US hired insane saudi arabs to do their bidding against the russians in afghanistan (who became armed terrorists later)
etcetcetc.
The US government admit or have admitted to these things at some point or other. There was a huge deal when the US admitted to selling weapons to both Iran and Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war. And the reason they did that was to fund the "contras" (a bunch of violent drug addicts and pedophiles who did not want to pay taxes and wanted to rape and murder women and children) in Nicaragua.

Don't forget how the CIA funded terrorism against the Nicaraguan state by selling weapons to both Iraq and Iran when they had a war with eachother.
