Is there a nation with clean hands? No, not at all, however some have far far dirty hands than others. And although others being worse in no way justifies doing bad stuff yourself, which country is least worse is definitely relevant with regard to choosing who you'd like to be the dominant world power.
And with regard to "men in suits", they may have done bad stuff, however they've also done a whole lot of good. Pretty much every material comfort you enjoy (from technology to the modern western social welfare system) was likely either invented or significantly developed/made available to the general public by a "man in a suit". And, to be clear, I'm not justifying the bad stuff, however I am saying that, on balance, "men in suits" have made a net positive contribution to all of our lives.
