Highly doubtful, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

That may be true. But it's just another sign of the idiocracy this country has become.

The following 20 countries carried out, or are believed by Amnesty International to have carried out, executions in 2011: Afghanistan (2), Bangladesh (5+), Belarus (2), China (2000+), Egypt (1+), Iran (360+), Iraq (68+), Malaysia (1+), North Korea (30+), Palestinian Authority (3), Saudi Arabia (82+), Somalia (6), South Sudan (5), Sudan (7+), Syria (1+), Taiwan (5), UAE (1), USA (43), Vietnam (1+), Yemen (41+).[3]

When it comes to executing it's citizens, America stands with some rather invidious nations. Is this really a list America wants to be on?

Actually I'm appalled by how low all those figures are. If it was up to me the United States would be showing 175,000 executions. Because that's the number of armed robberies in the U.S. every year.

I think this is one we're just going to have to agree to disagree on, slice.
