I mean, damn, when your Wikipedia entry starts with this and you are not in jail you probably should retire quietly to the dust bin of US history.
Elliott Abrams (born January 24, 1948) is an American politician, lawyer, and war criminal ...
His name comes up in a lot of bad shit the US has pulled off around the globe, mass killings, regime overthrows, human rights violations, convictions, Iran-Contra, Bush's war on Iraq, etc.
A real life Bond villain from the good old USA.

How War Criminal Elliott Abrams Orchestrated the 2007 Hamas-Fateh Palestinian Civil War
Hamas was victorious in the 2006 legislative elections. This did not sit well with Israel and the U.S. due to Hamas’ pro-resistance agenda in the fight for Palestinian liberation, unlike Fateh's more compromising approach.
What ensued was a coup against a democratically elected government with U.S. backing -- much like the current situation in Venezuela. Not surprisingly, in both instances, Elliot Abrams has been the main man behind the scenes.
In 2007, then-U.S. President George Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and then-Deputy National Security Adviser Elliott Abrams devised a plan to overthrow Hamas using Fatah.
Elliott Abrams: A Human Rights Horror Show in Three Acts
As Bush’s special Middle East adviser, Abrams was one of the key intellectual architects of the 2003 US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq. He had long been an enthusiastic advocate of overthrowing Saddam Hussein’s regime, co-authoring a 1998 letter to President Bill Clinton urging regime change in Baghdad. Iraq wasn’t the only Middle Eastern nation that Abrams helped destabilize. The staunch Zionist, who ran the NSC’s Israel/Palestine desk, has been accused of leading the Bush administration’s effort to subvert the 2006 Palestinian elections to block the formation of a Fatah-Hamas unity government. “It was during Abrams’ tenure in the NSC that the United States lost all credibility as an honest broker among Palestinians,” Eric Alterman wrote in The Nation in 2013.The Tragic Life of the War Criminal Elliott Abrams
Elliott Abrams was once an innocent child. And then he decided to spend the rest of his life covering up brutal atrocities and defending right-wing dictatorships
