This was during the Cold War era when it was believed that the Soviet Union was trying to take over the world, bit by bit, and Cuba, as a communist country, was an ally of the Soviet Union, and hence necessarily an enemy of the US, which did not wish to be taken over by communism. The Bay of Pigs invasion was a counter-revolution, designed to overthrow the communist regime of Fidel Castro. At that time (the 1960's) the US supported all forms of anti-communism. That's how the Cold War was fought.
