I think that whenever a country's leader doesn't do what we want them to, we either make them have an accident or if the threat runs deeper than that we paint them to be as ugly as possible and wage war on them.
We've done it all over the world. We use and abuse countries so that they become indebted to us and in our political pocket. It's called economic warfare. Meanwhile you'll notice that many of our political leaders are or were heads of large corporations that make millions off of underdevelped countries by developing them. So if they don't let us develop their country and exploit their resources, we find a reason to wage war. People wonder why we are so quick to rescue countries in need... why not we can use tax dollars to create an indebtedness that will funnel money into American corporations. We started this with Iran in the 50's and since have developed it and fine tuned it. Saudi was
one country we did strictly in exchange for petrodollars, yet what we did in Iran and our westernizing of the middle east is what causes a lot of resentment and formation of terrorism.
You have to think if some country came over here and exploited us and our resources and told us how we should be doing shit, we would definitely retaliate.
