Okay... Where's the documented list of every good they did so that you can actually look at both sides and make a reasoned decision...

Wait? You don't have one? So you're biased as fuck and only looking at one dataset that corroborates your bias... Who'd have thunk!

It's the same list, good actions go at the bottom, it's just empty right now because they haven't done anything good. It'll be appended when they die.

That's called delusion.

On February 3rd, 2022, US troops murdered 6 children and 4 women during a raid in Syria.

Is worthy to be called an "Atrocity" then there's plenty of cases where 10+ lives were saved that should be on the other side of this equation. You're just lying to yourself.

In 2003 Clinton’s successor, George W. Bush, launched the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Since then, PEPFAR has expanded from 15 countries to more than 50 and from an initial commitment of $15 billion to a total of $80 billion. It has saved millions of lives and remains one of the most successful humanitarian projects in modern history.

It really doesn't take all that much to show that you're full of it.
