So heres a thought.
If for example the beacon of democracy had some people who objected to the current regime and went on protests that the regime deemed to be illegal would they be thrown before the courts?

If perchance those protesters could be linked to perhaps a foriegn government that is seeking a regime change could those protesters be charged with treason?
Does this boil down to yet another "The USA should shut up and let the rest of the world get on with things" jibe? You simply know it doesn't work that way.

We're a "great" power and great powers ALWAYS meddle to try to further their own interests.

Sometimes it works out well, other timess it works out poorly, and sometimes the law of unintended consequences means that nobody has a frimpin' clue what the end-state will be.
