And whose "leaders" are these? Mine? For whatever reason, however they were chosen, these people are stuck with their leaders. If the leaders would rather they starve than take GM foods, the people have two options: get a new leader or starve. I, for one, am not going to shed any crocodile tears over the deaths of those who won't take their own future into their hands. If they'd rather make nice with the EU and bow to their demands rather than feed their people, so be that as well.

The UN, EU, and all of the bleeding hearts are constantly whining about there not being enough food aid to provide to the starving masses. If they won't accept our food ... TS!

I have to take issue with you on this one, BL. I don't think that you have an appreciation of what it must be like to live under a dictatorship. It is not so easy to 'just get a new leader' when you have a Saddam, Qaddafi, Hitler, Idi Amin, Castro, Stalin, Robert Mugabe running things.

There is no freedom of the press. There is no right to peacable assembly. There is no habeas corpus [you can be arrested at any time and held without charges indefinitely]. These dictators typically have to be removed via outside pressure, economically/militarily/diplomatically.

I have a great deal of sympathy for the people, and despise their dictators and the European appeasers who cater to them.
