Morgana killed children and innocent people too, just for other reasons, much more selfish ones and only to satisfy her hunger for power. There is a big difference between Uther and Morgana but I guess it's the wrong place to discuss it here.

I am also unsure about her true intentions when she helped Tom but I would agree with Aithusa that she really wanted to help him. Although it's not illogical to first create another reason to hate someone beyond imagination when considering Morgana's crazy mind. It's possible that she needed this situation to ease her conscience when finally killing Uther. But actually, I think she did not intend to have him killed by Uther's men. But who knows?

I agree, she has always been manipulative. Back then I thought she would turn against Uther and maybe Merlin for a while but I had not expected her to go wacko and trying to kill the ones she once cared about. Oh yes, she had always had a very dark side inside her but I wish she had remained being sane and like a human being. I have always felt sorry for Uther when she used his love for her to finish her evil plans because I think it is the worst that anyone could do, using the love against someone. And trust of course. It's similar to people who try to gain the trust of animals, gooses, for example, by feeding them and when they start to trust the one feeding them, the person breaks their neck. Her manipulations for the better purposes were great, on the other hand. She would have made a great leader if she wasn't filled with hatred and cruelty. In my opinion they wasted her potential by turning her into an evil beast.
