How many democratically elected, free market, free countries have we "bully stomped"?

Possibly the "bully stomping" most relevant to world events today was Operation Ajax, which you might want to check at Wikipedia. That was when the CIA and British MI6 orchestrated a coup which overthrew the democratically elected socialist president of Iran, Dr. Mohammed Mossadegh, and returned the hated Shah to power. Then when the Shah was overthrown and fled to the US, Iranian students took American hostages in the US embassy and tried to get some of the billions of dollars the Shah supposedly had in US banks, and this led to the US shooting down an Iranian airliner in the Persian Gulf which led to some Libyans bombing a US airliner over Lockerbie, and on and on... Still, Iran was turning away from Ayatollah rule and students were agitating for more freedom when George Bush called Iran part of an "Axis of Evil", and people started rallying around the Church again...
