Is it greed or evilness or both?

"For over a century, the United States has used terror tactics—including everything from direct military invasion to economic strangulation—to assert its self-appointed right to rule over all countries in the Americas. It has smashed small countries such as Haiti, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala that could only have posed the “threat of a good example” by developing in defiance of U.S. orders.

Are we capable of evolving to do foreign policy differently?

Is it possible for all of us to live in "prosperous" countries?

Is there enough for all of us to live decent good lives?

Why do we want poverty and oppression in our neighboring countries... ? Is it slavery by another name: i.e., cheap labor...?
