Utter rubbish. Name one 3rd world country we "dismantled." In order to do so, you'd better darn well know the meaning of the world "dismantle."
Brazil.
U.S. funded and supported the Brazilian military dictatorship (early 60's) up untill the mid-80's when "democracy" slipped in to place. There was U.S. "intervention" to help "dismantle" this dictatorship on the condition of; U.S. sponsored IMF loans, direct loan, land and resource interest, and the such. (Not only for U.S. interest -to be fair - but also Europe and Japan as well).
I'll briefly describe the "land and resource" interest. U.S. has a strong controll as to mining, fuel, and timber areas of the Amazon and coastal oil projects. Since Brazil hasn't kept up with the interest payments of such "loans", they allow the U.S. to dictate what goes on in Brazil's yard (ex: U.S. can determine: Who can mine what, who can chop what, who can drill what etc.).
Inherint to U.S. government interests, as to this "intervention", was allowing U.S. corporations function and run within Brazilian borders with no or little "red tape". No taxes, not tariffs, etc. etc. There is also some odd "trading" agreements between the U.S. & Brazil. Thus here is the pay off to U.S. intervention and such.
Though the words "intervention" and "dismantle" would (and sometimes does) lead people to think: Military goes in, does some bang-bang, new order is setup led by a foreign country's control. In Brazil's case this isn't so. It was passive. There is still some independant control in which Brazil has, but when it comes down to it, Brazil really can't crap without the U.S. giving permission in doing so.
I notice Emilano comment again: The US is a capitalist country whose main agenda is to make money for the biggest and wealthies corporations in the US. They do this by intervening and contrubuting to the dismantleing of 3rd world countries.
Fact: U.S. is a capitalist country
Fact: It's main agenda is to make money for the biggest and wealthiest corps in the U.S.
Fact: They do it, be it passive or active, by intervening and contrubuting to the dismantleing of 3rd world countries.
I'll add here: The U.S. does aid & rebuild after it's involvement (kinda obvious, since it's an "investment").
Now as to improvement after such intervention and dismantling? Well, that's a mix bag. Some of it works and some doesn't.
Brazil's Dictatorship: there was a lot less civilian crime, lot more government inhumane treatment.
Brazil's Democracy: there is a lot more civilian crime, less government inhumane treatment.
As to economy, wow, all I can say is: Ever been on the world's biggest-loopiest-twisty-turny roller coaster? Factor 10 as to Brazil's economy today. It's a mess and Brazil conceeds to U.S. policy as how to run it's own country every year, due to interest upon interest of debt to the U.S. and IMF.
As to "dismantle", Farkel, I strongly suggest you read about various government agencies (CIA etc.) that aided Brazil in the process of Dictatorship in to Democracy. You may also would like, if you choose, to include your research with U.S. loans, IMF loans, and corporations from the U.S. that work with & in Brazil. Oh, and the current trade agreements between U.S. and Brazil (some are comical-at least from an entertainment point of view).
to take to pieces; also : to destroy the integrity or functioning of
I think you may see how the U.S. help destroy the functioning of a dictatorship (heck a society of people) in this case.
