But why was it the US's decision to make. If the Chilean people wanted to rebel against a communist dictatorship, shouldn't they have been given that chance before the US got involved? I think a people should be given the chance to fight for themselves. If they are made incapable of doing so, then I think it is okay for the US to intercede and assist like we did against Saddam and the Taliban. The fact is is that the people of Chile didn't get to decide their fate. The US decided it for them. This country ignored the principles it was supposed to defend to keep the USSR from getting another one on their score card.
