Yes, he won with about 80% of the vote. I believe he has also won a referendum since then. It's none of your business if a country decides they want communism or socialism instead of free market neo-liberalism, that's the point. America doesn't control the world. Just because it's in your "best interests" to have a puppet dictator who will sell you oil on the cheap and clamp down on dissidents, doesn't mean that you have the right to kidnap the president and install that dictator.
And most Americans can't understand why the rest of the world hates them.
