The CIA and America certainly did not see 'the error of it's ways' at all. Tons of Cocaine were shipped during that war by the CIA and the Clinton/Bush Crime Syndicates - not only did those arch criminals get away scott free, they became 'heroic presidents' in the minds of the brainwashed and ignorant.
South America has continued to be the victim of economic and military pressure from America - including assassinations of democratically elected leaders.
America also totally fabricated the 'evidence' of WMDs in Iraq for the purposes of creating perpetual war and massive profits for the crime families involved.
So let's not ignore the truth in favour of a cherry picked vision of the glories of murder.
I'm not a cherry picker. Our government is way out of balance. My goal here is to show the legitimacy of its jurisdiction not apologize for its crimes against humanity.

You are claiming that the only legitimacy it has for jurisdiction is at the barrel of the same gun it uses to create crimes against humanity. Your position is akin to claiming that while you are not trying to justify the actions of a murderer and rapist, that murderer and rapist has every right to murder and rape because...... winning.
No. I am claiming that the Corporation which is the United States had Original Sovereign Title to the entire country. Based on international law under the Right of Conquest of the colonies and eventual territories And divested fee simple title to portions of it to the States then to people but kept Sovereign Jurisdiction delegating certain Rights and jurisdictional powers to the States Through a Constitution as a covenant with the States and people running with the land and codified Citizens rights in the First 10 Amendments to that constitution. - in Convoluted way to achieve self-rule.
And yes guns and war were needed to achieve it.
If you live in or occupy space with the limits of its jurisdictional ownership you are subject to its laws and rules until such time as you leave.
