[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 23854, member: 126"] Re: hyper inflation in the USA? Well if your conflict goes back before we existed, how is this our fault? We gave Yugoslavia aid even before they were expelled from the soviet cominform in 1948 (a definite attempt by the soviets (IMO) to influence all the communist constituencies as one block.) After the loss of soviet aid, the more independent but still communist Yugoslavia appealed to the west for more aid. Which several countries were more than happy to provide if it weakened soviet influence. I won't debate wether the "Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" was socialist, a republic, or communist... that doesn't matter to hyper inflation, or whatever we are arguing about. I stand by my thesis that a change in situation resulting in lack of unifying control, released the pent up ethnic differences that apparently run deep (and reportedly older than my ability to grasp history :-). This release seem coincident with or post the death of Tito. To bring this slightly on topic, Yugoslavia also experienced a bout of hyper inflation from 1989 to 1993. Funny... not even a little. I don't recall the name of the book but there was an author on cspan a few months ago who published his research on some of the huge economic displacements that occurred after WWII, where entire regions were starved to death. Things like substance farmers having their meager livestock taken away, which they needed to survive. Apparently some of the "intent and organization" over these actions is disputed, but there has been a lot of unnecessary death in many forms and in many places. You can go on like that but you have proved nothing but your venom and perhaps bias. Yes we consume a disproportionate fraction of the world resources but we have also created a disproportionate amount of world wealth. I suspect we will be living lower off the hog in the future. We are not the great evil, or sole source of your problems. It sure would be nice is if people found a new hobby besides killing ethnic rivals. JR [/QUOTE]
