Washington has spent billions of dollars promoting it's version of democracy all over the world. In part one of this segment, we talked about how the US formula for regime change underwent a makeover following the 1960's through 1980's. A time when the US government openly supported dictators. Now the new method is different. It includes soft money that is transformed into financing, supporting, politically backing and training opposition forces in line with US policy. Through democracy promotion efforts, Washington was able to create key political figures in foreign countries who either became Presidents or major political opponents.
