No wonder many "3rd world savages" have such a deep loathing for Americans. A few martillo@mit_athenas would set mankind back several centuries. I would love to give martillo@mit_athena a swift "ass-kicking" he/ she so richly deserves, but that would be too much of an imposition on my shoes.

Listen, turkey, my family comes from the 3rd world (Libya and Turkey to be exact). The 3rd world sucks, and we are glad not to be there anymore. A large part of my family was killed from 1948-1968 for the crime of not being Muslim so tell me these people are not howling savages. Given the violence going on in right now in India (which is not unique when viewed in perspective of Hindu Muslim violence or violence in Assam), the description applies as well to India which is the most populous 3rd world country (China excluded). So don't give me any of this Hindu hypocrisy. Perhaps, India should be returned to British rule. The Brits seem to have done a lot better job at running the subcontinent than the locals are doing now.

> ... Perhaps, India should be returned to British >rule. The Brits seem to have done a lot better job at running the >subcontinent than the locals are doing now. On the contrary... This year, approximately 12K people were killed in the major acts of violence in India. Based on scaling this to the population of the US, that comes to about the equivalent of 4K here. Somewhat less than 10 percent of the number of people killed in traffic accidents (much less serious stuff like murder). And in case you're wondering, even WITH all the riots taken into account, the death rate due to 'violence' in India is less than 1/3 that of the US. Perhaps the US should be returned to British rule! :-) The situation in India under the Brits, from what I have heard, was far worse, in the 7 years prior to Independence, on the order of a million people died in various disturbances, which the British mostly refused to get involved in doing anything about... Enuf time wasted on drivel like this... -JCP-

And that is WITH all the opportunities presented by the olympics. The only major acts of violence resulting in death in the US last year, that i can remember, are: the MacDonald's massacre, and the Westwood massacre. > Perhaps the US should be returned to British > rule! :-) > Aha! The first really interesting idea i've seen in this newsgroup since someone suggested sending Windex and a copy of Jane's Aircraft of the World to Soviet fighter pilots. sdcrdcf!alan

As long as the Indian subcontinent was to be part of the British Empire the British had a moral obligation and self-interest in preventing various Indian ethnic groups from slaughtering each other. Once the decision was made to give India independence as the Indians wished, the British had neither moral obligation nor self-interest in discouraging the natural inclinations of Indian ethnic groups.
