This is really a top 10, but I have an early morning and time isn't abundant right now...I'll post the next part tomorrow. There are an infinite number, but I've decided on 10, and these 2 aren't necessarily the top-top 2, but up there.

1. NSC-68: in April of 1950 this document outlined plans to "foster the seeds of destruction within the Soviet system." The means? Reinhard Gehlen, head of Nazi military intelligence on the Eastern front, was put in charge of the espionage service in West Germany, the CIA closely supervising him. His task: to develop a "secret army" of thousands of SS men to assist forces fighting within the Soviet Union. Essentially, the U.S. commissioned a Nazi army to go on a murderous rampage through Russia to weaken the state.

2. THE VIETNAM MINES: Thousands of Vietnamese people continue to die from dormant mines from the war that are suddenly triggered. The U.S. has done nothing to remedy this: the Pentagon officially stated "People should not live in those areas. They know the problem." They've also refused to give their mine maps of Indochina to civilian mine-deactivation teams.
This is nasty in itself, but much, much worse when we look at Afghanistan. The Russians, as is well known, were in there for about a decade, and mines also abound. Like the U.S., the Russians have done nothing to deactivate them, but they have, at least, and unlike the U.S., given up their mine maps. The U.S. media in about 1990 abounded in headlines condemning this Russian depravity, with the Americans heroically training refugees to destroy the mines.
"The Soviets will not acknowledge the problem they have created or help solve it," said Richard Williamson, the Assistant Secretary of State. "We are disappointed."
When I read this, I've rarely been so disgusted.
