    But we won’t. Because then we’d be handing power to whichever of our enemies wants more power (Russia, China?)

    You have very limited, or perhaps zero, knowledge of how American foreign policy actually functions.

      We assassinate a leader we do not like, then install our own puppet leader, the populace ends up hating our installed leader. This causes decades of resentment and extremist factions, then we go to war with those factions in the name of freedom. Rinse and repeat until we have messed up the entire world.
