Just to follow my point, the following are countries in which the United States interfered to overthrow or give material support to the overthrow of a democratically elected liberal/socialist government in favor of a dictatorship. Some of these governments were not even that socialist. These new dictatorships were some of the most repressive of the 20th Century.

1) Nicaragua (1909)
2) Honduras (1911)
3) Iran (1953)
4) Guatemala (1954)
5) Congo (1960)
6) Ecuador (1961)
7) Dominican Republic (1963)
8) Brazil (1964)
9) Chile (1973)

And of course there were unsuccessful attempts to do the same in Vietnam and Venezuela.
