Has the USA corrupted the world?

[VHG]

This is a big topic so may lead to quite a discussion (I hope).

My question is "Has the USA corrupted the world?"

The reason I ask is that I picked up a book in one of those discount bookshops called "Who shot JFK" by Robin Ramsey.

This is not so much the story of the killing, but a pulling together of much of the information available on the case, and also briefly covers the killings of his brother Robert and of course Martin Luther King.

But it also covers the roles of the CIA, the FBI, the cold war with Russia, the Cuba crisis, the Vietnam war, Watergate and so on.

He looks at corruption in high places, and corruption in the various secret organizations in the USA.

He covers some of the underhand behaviour of the CIA in, for example, Italy, where the USA spent millions of dollars keeping the Italian Comminist party OUT of office.

But in doing so they gave the mafia a chance to get there claws into all parts of society, which has never been removed, making Italian society totally corrupt.

He even discusses the possibility that vice president Lyndon Johnson (and others) were behind the killing of JFK (after all the killing was down in the South, home of Johnson).
