I would be surprised if there are many governments in the world with clean hands. Britain especially has a murky past. You should also realise that most of the middle east is an artificial construct with borders placed as pretty lines on a largely british map. I think you will find in years to come that the so called arab spring was largely a movement of farmers to the cities due to the Levant being in the grip of the worst drought in 900 years.
Mr Carroll you seem very selective in those governments you wish to condemn. I would recommend you put down whatever sources you use and cast your information net wider and hopefully get a more balanced view.
