"down right evil"

Are you sure you're on the right forum? Start naming all those evil things.

There isn’t time to name ALL the evil things. Here’s a few goodies though:
project paper clip
Viet Nam (wouldn’t have been evil if we’d actually wanted to win, but we didn’t, and getting into a war you don’t want to win is probably the most evil thing you can do)
at least half a dozen times we inspired people to revolt against their government and doing nothing to back them (again the whole not wanting to win thing)
backing the Shah
backing Marcos
backing Duvalier
we backed a lot of really bad people during the Cold War

And that’s just the 50s, 60s and 70s. We haven’t even gotten into “Iranian Moderates”, abandoning Afghanistan to a decade of chaos after helping kick out Russia, Clinton’s adventure with Haitian dictators, and Obamacare. Our government’s done a lot of evil.
