WhaddaYaMean We're The Bad Guys?

This stunning, but true, summary of 65 years of American War from Australian journalist John Pilger appears on Reddit :

Since 1945, the United States has overthrown fifty governments, including democracies, and crushed some 30 liberation movements, and supported tyrannies and set up torture chambers from Egypt to Guatemala. Countless men, women and children have been bombed to death

This is taken from the reality-rocking Pilger documentary The War On Democracy, which you can watch online here for free.

A Redditer helpfully supplies a list of Wikipedia links that confirm it all :
