That's definitively not an easy question.
In terms of a total death tool, I'd have to say Vietnam war, which also includes strictly related interventions in neighboring countries, most notably Cambodia (I especially mention Cambodia since U.S. bombings contributed to fall of the Cambodian government and rise of the genocidal Khmer Rogue regime).
In long terms, perhaps coup in Iran, since it destroyed moderate (not to mention progressive) opposition as organized force and left fundamentalists as the only force able to take power away from the Shah, which they did in 1979. And Iranians are still in this mess, while countries like Chile recovered very nicely from U.S.-imposed regimes.
