It's against mercenaries. Hell, most of the main characters were humans, and we always rooted for them.

"It's anti-American" is what really got my goat. An American corporation happened to be in charge (what a surprise, America possesses many of the large corporations today). Are all corporations bad? Absolutely not. And guess what? Even Selfridge was vehemently against the bombing of the tree of souls and the whole war that ensued, and never really wanted any of the natives to die (deleted scenes reveal this). How some people can say his character was "one-dimensional", I don't have the slightest.

Quaritch is the bad guy. The mercenaries are the bad guys.

The RDA as a whole, working on Pandora, is not technically "bad" because most of the workers were just doing what they were told, and Selfridge was following orders. None of the workers were out to kill the natives. Then when the going went tough, Selfridge backed off. Not with the destruction Hometree, unfortunately, but afterward he regretted what he had done and wanted to back down. But Quaritch took control.

EDIT:

I don't think he was trying to infer that.
