You're conflating revenge with justice.
As US citizens, your lifestyle and mine would not exist in their present state of relative affluence without a century of free labor (slavery) and US interference in the political economies of other sovereign states like Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala:
Congress, the CIA, and Guatemala, 1954 — Central Intelligence Agency
"In the late Cold War period and since, however, the American overthrow of the Arbenz government came to be widely seen as shameful.
"This is mostly because the governments that followed the 1954 coup in the subsequent five decades were far more repressive than Arbenz's elective government.
"Even intelligence scholar Christopher Andrew, an Eisenhower admirer, describes the Guatemala affair as a 'disreputable moment'--Eisenhower was 'directly responsible' for 'death and destruction,' yet showed no signs of embarrassment then or later over his 'bullying of a banana republic.'
"A culminating moment in the evolving historical memory of the United States and Guatemala in 1954 came in 1999, when President Clinton visited Guatemala and said, 'Support for military forces and intelligence units which engaged in violence and widespread repression was wrong, and the United States must not repeat that mistake."'3
"Aside from morality, there were other unfortunate legacies of the Guatemalan 'success:' Allen Dulles used it as a model in advising President Kennedy seven years later to pursue the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba."
Newsflash dumbass! It is 2018, not 1954!
Guatemala has had a steady stream of nasty dictators since we installed the first one. What happened in 1954 is very relevant today.
It really hasn't mattered since the days of Teddy Roosevelt who occupies the White House; Guatemala has been perceived as part of "our backyard", and our corporate interests (backed by the US military) are elevated above the sovereign rights of the citizens living there:
Washingtonpost.com: Papers Show U.S. Role in Guatemalan Abuses

"During the 1960s, the United States was intimately involved in equipping and training Guatemalan security forces that murdered thousands of civilians in the nation's civil war, according to newly declassified U.S. intelligence documents.
"The documents show, moreover, that the CIA retained close ties to the Guatemalan army in the 1980s, when the army and its paramilitary allies were massacring Indian villagers, and that U.S. officials were aware of the killings at the time. The documents were obtained by the National Security Archive, a private nonprofit group in Washington."
1960s and 1980s again! When are you going to get to this century?
How 'bout 2009 AND a Democrat?
"In a recent op-ed in The Washington Post, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
used a review of Henry Kissinger’s latest book, 'World Order,' to lay out her vision for 'sustaining America’s leadership in the world.'
"In the midst of numerous global crises, she called for return to a foreign policy with purpose, strategy and pragmatism.
"She also highlighted some of these policy choices in her memoir
'Hard Choices' and how they contributed to the challenges that Barack Obama’s administration now faces.
"The chapter on Latin America, particularly the section on Honduras, a major source of the child migrants currently pouring into the United States, has gone largely unnoticed.
"In letters to Clinton and her successor, John Kerry,
more than 100 members of Congress have
repeatedly warned about the deteriorating security situation in Honduras, especially since the 2009 military coup that ousted the country’s democratically elected President Manuel Zelaya."
Why do you suppose "sustaining America's leadership in the world" requires creating massive refugee flows from the Middle East to Mexico?
