in the 1800s.

No, I'm pretty sure that was the English

It looks like an armadillo that someone ripped the armor off of! Poor thing. No wonder he's got such a sh*tty look on his face. He looks like he's saying "please euthanize me".

It wasn't a famine, it was garden variety genocide. Read up.

From this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_I...ns_of_genocide

In 1996 Francis A. Boyle, a law professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, wrote a report commissioned by the New York-based Irish Famine/Genocide Committee, that concluded "Clearly, during the years 1845 to 1850, the British government pursued a policy of mass starvation in Ireland with intent to destroy in substantial part the national, ethnic and racial group commonly known as the Irish People.... Therefore, during the years 1845 to 1850 the British government knowingly pursued a policy of mass starvation in Ireland that constituted acts of genocide against the Irish people within the meaning of Article II (c) of the 1948 [Hague] Genocide Convention."[142] On the strength of Boyle's report, the U.S. state of New Jersey included the famine in the "Holocaust and Genocide Curriculum" at the secondary tier.[143]

I fixed it. It was really Bush's fault.
