He started America's involvement in the jihadist insurgency in Afghanistan - causing the Soviet-Afghan war as a result - and started the mainstreaming of neoliberal policy that Reagan and Clinton would both escalate, in addition to things like greenlighting the massacre of protesters by the South Korean dictatorship.
I don't believe crimes like that can ever really be atoned for, but I will say that unlike just about anyone else in his position he seems like he's spent his life since then trying to.
He'd be doing a lot more for the world if he said 'I was 100% wrong. I started something (Neoliberalism) that has made life worse for 99% of Americans and that project continues to run unchecked'. This fuck drove the final nail into the coffin that was labor, he got all his economics wrong, he lectured Americans on 'sacrifice' while he never went hungry and that lecturing tone has never left libs. He's an evil dude trying to wash away his sins one house at a time. His evils may have come from stupidity and incompetence, but the rationale doesn't change the outcome.
