CAST ALLEN DULLES?
Also Which US Cold War coups & dictator support type actions were most & least justified?
Obviously supporting Taiwan & South Korea are the biggest success stories but which actions were most morally correct at the time even if they had bad long term results.
I think funding the Mujahideen was absolutely morally justified and indistinguishable from funding Ukraine today. Our mistake was not giving hyper extra aid to the Northern Alliance during the post-Soviet Civil War.
Supporting Saddam against Iran after Iran turned down his ceasefire offers was justified outside of giving him chemical weapons (the French did that more than America correct?)
The 1953 Iran coup was also probably justified. Our mistake was not assassinating Khomeini looong before the revolution.
What are situations were we should have intervened but didn't? Not Cold War but the Rwandan genocide I think we should have stepped into stop.
