Yes, well, I never said we were perfect..... Though we didn't kill everyone, and I think everyone who isn't British may be just a bit jealous? I'm fully aware of our "warts and all" history, and I'd say that we Brits are generally far more concious of our own past failings than most any other nation is. And if I had to sumarize the British Empire, I would simply say that it was the least-evil Empire that ever existed.
