> which the US tried to install a more westernized leader

Taking issue with your use of "westernized" here - it's either misleading or deliberately ambiguous. The US just wanted a less "socialist" leader, similar to how they favored autocrats in Central and South America over communist/socialist leaders, democracy be damned.
