   The US has been organized in over 600 coup d'etats/regime change operations around the world since WWII. A good book on that is Overthrow by Stephen Kinzer:

   "the history is full of US meddling in democratic process of other nations"

   There's an interesting book about this called Overthrow.[1]

   To anyone interested in this, I'd highly recommend Stephen Kinzer's Overthrow.[1]

   It covers not just this incident, but many others throughout history when the US has overthrown foreign governments.

   Overthrow, by Stephen Kinzer really changed the way I perceive the US position in the world and made me question a lot of things I learned in school.

   I also really enjoyed Manufacturing Consent, which is prime reading right now for anybody in the US because it's about media manipulation in free society.

   To better understand this organization and its inner workings i highly recommend the book "Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer.

   I apologise if this sounds a wee bit snippy but I think you need to read some history books to find out what the US and western friends were getting up to prior to Bush Jr's time in office. Here's a couple of suggestions:

   Have a look for books on the US's covert (and slightly less covert) activities in Central and South America.
