'The United States has a long history of organizing, funding, arming and actively perpetrating coups against democratically elected governments.'
Examples in the modern era include Iran in 1953, with the overthrow of popular Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh; Guatemala in 1954 by the overthrow of progressive President Jacobo Arbenz.
In 1973, the U.S. backed a military coup against Chile's democratically-elected President Salvadore Allende. President Nixon's National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger reportedly told Nixon at the time,"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.
