I love watching them try to rationalize how we destroyed everyone else's lives with our evil commercial empire. Last semester a girl in one of my classes was trying to convince me that the US is at fault for Mexico's inability to support itself. She talked alot about 'unfair' exports and how farmers can't support themselves because everyone buys US food. Hmmmm... lets think about this, we export food, Mexicans buy said food in preference over Mexican grown food, Mexicans blame us for selling them food. The fact that they can't seem to get out of the feudal era is another problem.
