That would be another type of "Disney effect", wouldn't it? In any event, the "Kill 'em all" bloodlust wouldn't be present, would it? Of course, the motivations for many of these persons ... the dumping of toxic waste in their waters, the theft from their fisheries ... are absent from corpress coverage. Never let reality get in the way of a good story about "(Western) good versus (Third World) evil", right?
