Looks like our demilitarized paradise to the south has experienced some second thoughts [1]:
Costa Rica wants its name erased from the list of countries supporting the invasion of Iraq [2]. But the United States says that's not possible.
…
U.S. Ambassador to Costa Rica Mark Langdale, who delivered the response, said the list is part of the Web page's archives and appear in other parts of the Internet.
"Although they aren't correct anymore, they form part of the historic record and can't be modified or removed," he said. "We regret any confusion these archives have caused."
Translation: we regret that you sold out your principles for some banana exports, but now you’re gonna have to live with it. After all, Team Chimpy is solidly against revisionist history.
