You might as well just name us
Edit:
My bad, about 77 countries still retain and use the death penalty. I still stand by my statement that I believe we are the only
Western nation to do so, however.
I confused the fact that we still execute juveniles against international law (the Democratic Republic of Congo just stopped and, IIRC, only Iran and the US continue; Amnesty International lists 7 nations, but that tabulation is from 1990) with standard adult executions. I find it interesting that, according to AI, China, our cozy trading partner and up-and-coming superpower, leads the world in executions.
