China 1945-46,1950-53
Are you sure the USA Bombed in 1945-46 or did they sell arms Chang Ki Sheik's (sp?)side? The side that now makes up Taiwan, is not Taiwan a democratic nation? Chang Ki Sheik asked the USA to get involved in open combat and was turned down!
1950-53 China suported and supplied North Korea during a war (see below)
Korea 1950-53
North Korea invaded South Korea one of the USA's allies, killing ROK soldiers and US Army personal stationed there to defend South Korea
Guatamala 1954,1967-69
I'm not familar with those dates please give some facts other than just dates. I'm willing to bet that the USA bombed only during a revolution in an unstable country that threatened it's (USA's) citzens, or the USA sold arms to one side or the other in a civil war and DIDN'T actually bomb.
Indonesia 1958
See above
cuba 1959-60
Sorry the USA has not bombed Cuba tha USA did train Cubain Exiles to retake their country, but the very reason the "Bay of Pigs" failed was because the USA DID NOT BOMB! JFK refused too!
belgian congo 1964
You will have to provide more facts on this one, I believe you will find that the USA gov't. did not do anything, privite US citzens joined as mercenaires. Privite citzens doing something is not the same as the gov't doing it.
peru 1965
More facts than just a date, but I'm willing to bet it was another revolution and the USA sold one side arms not the same thing as bombing!
laos 1964-73
You bet'chum, the North Vietnamese were using Laos as a staging area to fight their war in South Vietnam. See below
vietnam 1961-73
North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam another of the USA's allies and we got into a shooting war, a war run from the halls of the White House instead of from the field.
