I see a big difference between advocating for "regime change" and actually plotting to overthrow a government, don't you? BTW, in 1973 the democratically elected government of Chile was overthrown with the active participation of the Unions in that country. Liberals were unanimous at the time in their support of the coup. Seems that little has changed since.
