I think there's a vast difference between the US government doing something, and private companies doing something like this. I'm not saying the US is right in its interventions, but atleast they're a democratically elected government with some form of legitimacy.
Again: If you're shocked by this, just wait until you find out what the US government has been up to in Central and South America over the past 50 years
I grew up in Brazil. I know what the US has been doing for ages. It's just that, in a more civilized world, I would expect governments to hold themselves to a high ethical standard.
If the US did that, they could be a force for good. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
