Is America an Evil Country?

Posted by Stephen on November 13, 2006

One last post for tonight partly because this really caught my eye as it certainly gives food for thought. Who are the top evil countries in the world with this constant unrest, one can be confused with all this propaganda. I suppose the question that comes to mind is should America be in this list. I have no idea but surely they have killed more than a million since 1945.

Still my country isn’t perfect either, below is the post from kindlingman

Top Ten Evil Countries in the 20th Century

November 11th, 2006

The following countries/governments are the most evil in the 20th century. I have ranked them by the deaths they have caused since 1945. The leaders of these countries may not end up on the 10 most evil persons in the 20th century but some surely will.

1. Republic of China -35 million people in China plus 1.6 million in Tibet
2. USSR -22.4 million-(no longer exists)
3. Congo- 3 million
4. Cambodia- 2.5 million
5. Sudan-2.2 million
5. North Korea- 2 million
6.Yugoslavia- 1.7 million
7. Pakistan- 1.5 million
8. NorthVietnam- 1.1 million
9. Nigeria – 1 million
10. Mozambique- 1 million

The list above is compiled from data at Genocide Watch.

In the above list, 4 countries are currently engaged in genocide, mass murders, or politicide: China, North Korea, Sudan, and the Congo. One country, Pakistan, is a powder keg of terrorist attack and preparation for politicide.

One day we must answer the question: Am I my brother’s keeper? Judging by these numbers, perhaps we already have.

Politicide:
“In one definition, politicide is a form of mass, targeted killings in which a group of people are destroyed because of their political or ideological beliefs. It is similar to genocide, but different in that politicide does not specifically target ethnic, racial or cultural groups, rather, it seeks to eliminate a group of persons identified by their political or ideological beliefs.”- Wikipedia

  1. Thanks for stopping by my site. Please note that in the comment section a reader asked about America and Vietnam. I replied that I should amend my list and attribute more deaths to Ho Chi Minh and North Vietnam because of their invasion of South Vietnam.

    As to America being evil: I am working on the idea that ‘evil’ is composed of three things: Malice, Maleficence, and Morality/Immorality. The idea being that you could intend to harm (malice) and create harm (maleficence) but the morality/immorality dimension (evilness)will be determined by the number of people who agree/disagree with your actions. If you stop back by my web site, look for the category ‘Evil Thoughts’ and read a few other posts on the topic.
    Thanks for stopping by. K-man.
