Communist insurgency? In Japan in 1863? In Nicaragua in 1857? Etc? Just read about wars, conflicts and operations that USA commenced since the country's foundation.

Many of those countries are democratic now

Nuked Japan? Yeah, they made the proper choice after Enola Gay ant The Great Artiste...
Napalmed and AgentOranged Vietnam? Those, who survived, made their choice. Not everyone, though.
Citizens of Hamburg, Leipzig and Koeln also became true democrats.
Even Indians, you know, also became democrats (or maybe respublicans?)

Compare Cuba, what a Paradise on Earth that is! If it wouldn't be inhumane for the population we should keep it as an historic exemple of what communism does to a basically prosporous country.

First, to set a blockade - to Cuba or to Iraq. Not to allow food and medicines there. Then, seeing children there die because of USSs blocking trade lanes, to say: "What a bad and inhumane dictator rules this country!" It's a very wise and democratic, of course. And how humane! Then, of course, arrive US Captains Freedoms, napalm those who managed to survive, imprison those who don't cry "Freedom" loud enough...
Democracy is triumphant!
