I thought this article was interesting in light of The United States crusade to free people from tyranny. The US is the only country that executes juveniles and is behind only China and Iran.

"The worldwide total is down from 3,048 executions in 2001, mainly because of a sharp drop in Chinese executions. Amnesty counted 2,468 executions in China in 2001. The total fell to 1,060 in 2002."

" Iran had the second-most executions last year, 113, followed by the United States with 71, according to the report. The U.S. total was an increase of five from the previous year. "
