British imperialism used STARVATION and NEAR-STARVATION as a weapon to keep hundreds of millions of Indians subjugated for 2 centuries - the human cost is estimated at 1.5 BILLION 1757-1947 excess deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that did not have to happen) (see: ).

According to many Right wing pundits in the US and many "boots on the ground" officers, things are definately on the mend in Iraq.
Yes, I noticed.
Daily I.E.D.s, mortars,assassinations and suicide bombers. 3 hours avg. of electricity daily, for most provinces. Sewage lines a mess after 4 years of war!
Oil pipelines regularly bombed, and black marketeers siphoning off over $5 billion a year for black market sales. Porn houses flourishing! Arms and drug smuggling up! Corrupt Iraqi (…)

To Joe Scarborough and Steve Adubato, tell the truth of President Chavez By Mary MacElveen March 23, 2007

Water in the Indus River is so clouded that the native dolphin has in effect lost its eyesight and has to detect prey and other objects through sound waves.
More than half of all the industrial waste and sewage in China flows into a single waterway, the Yangtze. And tributaries of the Ganges, one of Asia’s greatest cultural and religious treasures, are running dry because of the crippling burden of irrigation.

Associated Press – March 21, 2007
Russia is pulling out its experts from the Iranian nuclear reactor site they were helping build, U.S. and European officials said Tuesday.
