Overpopulation

It seems to me that each country reacts a little differently to overpopulation. Some countries restrict the population in the cities, and begin to make people live in the rural areas, or something along those lines. But what I would do if my country(golf-tyler-opia-land) I had overpopulation, I would probably do the same. I would cut off all migration into the big cities, and make people start to move into the rural areas. It seems like a logical idea, because it doesnt involve any deaths or mass executions to cut down the population of an area!! I am not exactly sure how this would effect the population of the country, because I would think if I cut off migration to a big city, then people would stop living in my country altogether, and begin moving to other places, which would in turn, begin to decrease my population largely. Which now looking at what I just typed, that would be a good thing, so yes, I really like my plan.

Genocides

I think that the people to blame for the situation in Rwanda was the Belgians. Because if they hadnt seperated everyone into different groups, and given each group different ranks and things like that, there would have never been that violent feuding. However, the United States sitting back and letting it just happen made me sick to my stomach. And the worst part was that the United States just denied that there was a situation over there. I mean, everyone knows that there was something wrong, but all we did was say 'it is not a genocide.' Thats just terrible! But as for the situation in Darfur, I am just hoping we dont do the same thing we did in 1994. Okay, you might be able to make excuses for yourself the first time it happens, but when it happens a second time, you cant say you didnt know what to do. So I am really hoping that the United States government acts accordingly to the situation. The U.S. can say that no other countries helped with the situation in Rwanda. Yes, that is true, but just because they didnt doesnt give us that right. You are always supposed to do what you think is right.
