One example is the thousands of people in the third world who have died of
malaria, because exports of DDT from the US were banned, at the same time
that
use within the US was banned.

1.peoples are dying from malaria because of the chronic impoverishment and
malnourishment in those countries not because of insects .peoples are
suffering from the incapacity of being clear about what they need , and to
satisfy those needs .

2 ddt is widelly available in third world countries as it is used
intensivelly on crops like cashews for ex in india i witnessed.

3 there is an assumption in that sentence that without US "compassionate
intervention " peoples in the world fall victim of the devil forces .....

i feel very concerned that such propaganda distilled by us medias have
permeated so much peoples's brain that they can't adress" problems "
without blaming something or somebody then asking the intervention of a
savior of some sort .
I need to see an other way of thinking prevailing . One that see the
inherent beauty of the world behind the distortion of such thinking.
