Yes. Instead, he got Stalin like oppression.
I'm sorry, but you guys are being very short sighted about this. You ignore the fact that the American government usurped the democratic process to win a pissing contest with the Soviet Union. Once again we were ready to put someone in power as long as they said they like us and give us the lip service we wanted without thinking about what happens to the citizens of another nation. Remember that that's how Castro got into power. The US around that time had the horrible habit of doing such things.
I think the main problem here is that Mxy's called you guys out. You've used this forum to criticize and bash other countries for their policies and reactions; but you can't seem to accept some outside criticism from someone who's life has been directly affected by US foreign policy. America isn't perfect, but I still love it and think that it is the greatest nation in the world. I am still willing to realize that we haven't done everything perfect. Sounds like quite a few of you need to do the same.
