Who keeps the records? Are they logging absolutely everything? And, whose got the best record and who has the worst? And why does American and the UK automatically think that they have such a great record that they can criticise others for theirs.
George Bush, not known for his understanding of the meaning of the word 'irony', obviously thinks that records began quite recently, thereby avoiding all mention of Hiroshima, Iraq, the funding of Osama Bin Laden by the C.I.A., and Guantanamo - to name a few - and since the 'War on Terror' it would appear that records arent being kept at all.
For Britain, records start somewhere in the eighties, after Mrs Thatcher started to go completely loopy and have tea parties with Pinochet & pull in favours from friends to get her son jobs with various arms companies. And of course, after she started shipping suspicious looking pipes to Iraq.
For the whole of the European Union,there is a clean slate from the introduction of the euro.
For anyone not in the Union, an on-going record is being kept to be used against whichever country wants to join next as a reason for not allowing them to do so.
Russia, a bit like America tends not to bother keeping a record, mainly because they dont see the need.
You have to hand it to the main players on the world's political stage, they have the shortest memories of any humans on the planet.
