I think people call the USA evil the most because everyone universally accepts the evil actions taken by Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. But people are more keen on letting the USA push its weight around and kill civilians and destroy indigenous political systems for economic interests in the name of freedom and peace. It's the hypocritical nature of US foreign relations and not the inherent evil nature of the US which causes people to be so vocal about it.

Not sure international consent is enough to qualify a conflict as just.
That might just be me though.

International consent wants Israeli politicians, and Military leaders trialed for war crimes.

Except... apparently the "moral majorty" don't - according to Israel - so that's the USA, and about 10 other countries.

Ok, so sometimes the international community gets a few things right.
Again, not exactly enough to qualify a conflict as just.
Or anything as just, really.
I mean, appeal to popular opinion?
You jest.

I was kind of getting at the idea that "international consent" is a highly selective term, and can change over time.

Democracy? Works generally, although the international community is hardly a free and fair election... yet.

Yeah, voting blocs, and politically motivated votes which don't represent the population they claim to represent are rather shoddy.
