"First they ignore you; then they mock you; then they punish you; then you win."
Mahatma Ghandi

After Ghandi all they were left with was poverty and sand. There has been no progress with Ghandi's people like here in the USA.

Was your point how a wonderful man of peace had no vision and left his people no direction to rise out of great poverty? OK, great point!
He did "mean" well and if you are a liberal that is what counts. I am not a liberal so I like tagible results.
