Woodrow Wilson on regime change
According to Newsday columnist James P. Pinkerton, when U.S. Marines were sent to Haiti, Nicaragua, Panama, and Mexico, President Woodrow Wilson said of the deployments:
"I am going to teach the South American republics to elect good men."
Pinkerton also notes the strategy did not work.
Side note: Wilson is the only U.S. president to have earned a political science degree.

Oh, also, Wilson was a racist. He lauded the movie "Birth of a Nation", and he applauded the KKK million man march through DC. If you want more reason to detest the ivy league elitist. ;-)

And he wanted to sell the U.S. down the river to the League of Nations. World government!
