What was that thing with the United Fruit Company?

Look, I'm not an expert on Central American politics and history, but even in these situations you'll have to admit that at worst these represent "meddling" with the administration of another country and at best were an attempt to free the citizens from tyranical leaders. Its not like we conquered and colonized. (Well, with the possible exception of Panama)

You may argue that it was not a rampage, and I probably agree. It was more like business. Anyway, whatever the US do will be seen as something evil, because being hated by the rest of the world always comes with the title of superpower.

Ah, now we're coming down to it. What we have to determine is whether an action by any nation is simply SEEN as something evil, or whether it REALLY IS evil.

Yes, I do believe in an object right and wrong, good and evil (go back a page or two for more on this).
