While the poster may have been seeking to inflame, I suggest the ignorant go and read about the School Of The Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia, where the CIA has for decades taught methods of terrorism and torture to US-friendly dictators in other countries.

If you don't consider these people (a partial list out of dozens) to be brutal thugs or terrorists or their training and funding to be inappropriate:
- Batista, Cuba
- Somoza, Nicaragua
- Suharto, Indonesia
- the Contras, Nicaragua
- Noriega, Panama
- the Shah, Iran
- the Mujahadeen and Taliban, Afghanistan
- Pinochet, Chile
then I suggest you educate yourself. Supporting such dictators and regimes is why the US got into its messes in the first place (e.g. 9/11).
Here is a list of their "graduates":

"Godfather"? No. But "bastard child", maybe.
