Never said they did, and if you claim otherwise reproduce and quote where I did so.  As for "under-development", I'm a fisheries biologist with a 3.6 OAL GPA and a 3.9 science GPA in courses those who glibly bandy about such terms as "underdevelopment" couldn't pronounce, still less achieve passing marks.

The fallacy you embrace is that military superiority and the economic largess which invariably derives therefrom constitutes moral, ethical, intellectual or spiritual superiority.  It doesn't.

The other fallacy was most elegantly stated by Sidney Poiteir: "ASSUME just makes an @$$ of U, not ME."

PS: I'd like to see you try that "underdevelopment" nonsense on Ms. Nasuġraq Rainey Hopson.  Your resulting and well-deserved thrashing would be quite entertaining.
