I don't think the CIA has been nearly as influencial as some seem to beleive. From what I can gather, they are very rarely a decisive factor in any contest. More often than not, after being invited into a difficult and dangerous situation, they're ruthlessly exploited by local forces.
Then, when all is said and done, no matter how things turn out, the successful faction can escape blame for anything and everything by pointing a finger at the CIA, regardless of whether they received help from the agency or not.
