And perhaps this is the core of our disagreement - you see a country being attacked by another and you blame those hard times on the victim while I blame it on the attacker. I say it's a problem of unrestrained strength, of strength misapplied, not a problem of some people being weaker than others. And an enormous number of famines are caused by conflict, or historically by dumb central government by overly strong tyrants.

Unless you want to define strong in a very narrow sense which simply dumb. > you see a country being attacked by another and you blame those hard times on the victim while I blame it on the attacker Such is nature. When a sugar lover gets diabetis, you don't blame diabetis. If a society wants to stay afloat, it has to be able to defend from outsiders.
