yeah, we've done bad stuff, there's no denying it, but so has every major power (and most minor ones).

The difference is that our screw ups are more widely known about, and tend to have farther reaching effects.

Of course, one could say that ALL nations are thus evil, but I think that's pushing the definition. I don't think a collective as massive and varied as a democratic government can be painted with a single brush stroke
