Kissinger - I remember, as a kid, this man being on tv a lot (this was the Vietnam era) - I recall he had a thick accent but I didn't realise what an evil man he was. His advice (to Nixon) to bomb Cambodia killed hundreds of thousands and led to the rise of the Khmer Rouge. He supported right wing regimes/military coups in various parts of the world (Chile, East Timor, Argentina, West Pakistan now Bangladesh), the list goes on.


On a related note a staggering statistic - during the American bombing of Laos, 2.5 million tons of ordnance was dropped which equates to a planeload of bombs every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day for 9 years. It is the most heavily bombed country per capita in history.
