Period. We shouldn't have been interfering with other governments anyway. If we don't want people interfering with our government and trying to manipulate it, we shouldn't be playing with other peoples' governments, either, regardless whether they're socialists, communists, Contras, Marxists, or little green men. We need to mind our own business. If we did, we wouldn't be in all the deep doo doo we're in today.
