George Bush is a jackass and quite possibly the worst thing to happen to planet earth but in this case, it's just misrepresentation of his words by the Indian media. Bush wasn't "blaming" anyone for the food shortage, he was just basically echoing what the experts in the field are citing to be the reason behind the food shortage. Mai : If Indians had the means and the opportunity, they would be fat and wasteful too. Being fat and wasteful is a human trait, not specifically American.

Don't leave that out. There are concerned, caring people in both countries, like Amrit, for example, but these are, unfortunately, far outnumbered by the dolts. BTW, I'm Canadian - and we have our own problems. Valluth – Yup, ‘for the most part.’ Don’t leave that out.

But the problem is we are reacting to a very normal (and no way insulting) comment, solely on the basis of misrepresntation by our great Indian media. I am no fan of Bush or U.S. But sometimes our jounalists(!) and news anchors cross the line. This place is too small to quote the full comment by Bush. You can check theis post (not by me): http://libertynewscentral.blogspot.com/2008/05/indian-media-poison-in-air.html for the complete picture. Or better check the comment itself from the whitehoues site (link given in that post). Also for information recently UN made a similar comment (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Earth/Developmental_Issues/File_India_China_pushing_up_food_prices_UN/articleshow/2981439.cms) and nobody raised any finger to them. And please understand nobody blaming India (or China) for price increase. It's a simple economic reality that demand has incresed due to the prosperity in these nations (which Bush acknowledges as a good thing, off course from US commercial interest point of view). will wait for your (and others) reply in this regards. Cheers... The points made in your post are all very relevant and true.
