The US has been assassinating for over a century.
We ended the democracy in Iran in 1953, supported Diem in Vietnam when he said he would stop the elections that Ho Chi Mien would have won, we invaded Grenada, assassinated Allende, tried to assassinate Castry 12 times, took out Noreiga, etc. It is surprising any one trust us at all, because they are foolish.
