We're definitely on a list now, so thanks for that.
Anyways, I appreciate the humor here, so let me humor you.
What you are asking for here is regime change, which has been the policy of the CIA for decades. While this seems like we are doing a country a favor, this has always inevitably ended in the countries we intervene in being worse off. See: any country we've been involved with in the Middle East. Furthermore, this occupation typically comes with the cost of the occupied using terrorism to either dissuade the occupation, or to lure the occupying power into a bankrupting war. See Osama Bin Laden bankrupting the Soviet Union with their occupation of Afghanistan in 1980s and the trillions that the US government spent in Afghanistan for the first two decades of the 2000s (in this case Osama did both). This is not to handwave away the evil acts of terrorists, but to point out a similar practical wisdom that can be found in Proverbs 6:32-34.
He who commits adultery lacks sense;
he who does it destroys himself.
He will get wounds and dishonor,
and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
For jealousy makes a man furious,
and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
It is important to note the author of Proverbs is not condoning the revenge, but merely explaining how sinful people respond to being sinned against.
The foreign policy version would read as such:
He who commits regime change lacks sense;
he who does it destroys himself.
He will get wounds and dishonor,
and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
For occupation makes a man furious,
and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
