This is true.  US meddling also created Osama bin Laden and several Central
American dictators.  The CIA does not learn from their mistakes in this
regard. One of our recent SOSes, who more recently ran for President and lost,
decided to do nothing and leave a Central American leader twisting in the
wind.  She could have, at the least, verbally affirmed US support for his
valid Presidency.

She took credit for doing nothing, and his subsequent downfall, in the initial
hardback printings of her memoirs.  Later, when that situation (in a
previously economically stable country) led to one of the largest
humanitarian crises in the history of this half of the World, that
credit-taking was omitted "for brevity."

I guess she did not want credit for the migrant caravans.

Honestly, I don't think we had much business in WWI or the European Theatre
of WWII, either.  Focusing our efforts in WWII on the Japanese, who had bombed
us, would have made more sense and probably cost us a lot less.
