The History Channel strikes again. During “Blood Diamonds” some brainwashed (ing??) dupe said,
I remain convinced that no system of certificates…are going to eradicate this problem as long as there are armed groups who are acting in rebellion to a legitimate government of a country where diamonds are found.
Because, of course, we all know only governments are able to control wealth in a responsible manner. Oh, yeah. And only those armed groups who are efficient and popular (or ruthless) enough to actually gain control of a whole country deserve the label of “legitimate.”
The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, Arts & Entertainment…they’re just too obvious and easy. There’s no challenge here. You should feel insulted.
