Take for example Mr. Adolf Hitler, the propoganda campaign against whom has been so successful many consider him to have been evil incarnate, but might not even have name recognition on Stalin. It is debateable whether the United States and the world could have gotten out of the economic slump it had fallen into if not for this man's actions. A global level positive thing, by any measure even if the reason behind it was not.
if your talking about hitler waging WWII and by the same thing causing the world to get out of it's depression, it's a great topic, but please take it to serious discussion. mostly I dont want to ruin this debate on Genom with an equally good debate on Hitler and Stalin.
As for Genom, I'd probly throw them into the shade of grey megacorp bunch. Yeah lots of good here, some more evil over here, it kinda balances out. Which is something the show obviously wants you to think about. Even though this group is the bad guys and that group is the good guys, that dosent make them explicitly evil. Gundam poses this question(in the better series) all the time. It makes for a good show IMO.
