With the less mature of the English-inspired governments of the world, the image of English and their treatment of their far-flung "subjects" and enemies should be quite fresh. After all, there were the Original Americans who were given the smallpox infested blankets in the 18th century that wiped out a significant number of them. Perhaps the budding pols tend to think we'll roll over on their situations as they think Americans (who were not yet Americans) rolled over for the "blanket" policy. http://www.nativeweb.org/pages/legal/amherst/lord_jeff.html "" Smallpox blankets "" Despite his fame, Jeffrey Amherst's name became tarnished by stories of smallpox-infected blankets used as germ warfare against American Indians. These stories are reported, for example, in Carl Waldman's Atlas of the North American Indian [NY: Facts on File, 1985]. Waldman writes, in reference to a siege of Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh) by Chief Pontiac's forces during the summer of 1763: "" ... Captain Simeon Ecuyer had bought time by sending smallpox-infected blankets and handkerchiefs to the Indians surrounding the fort -- an early example of biological warfare -- which started an epidemic among them. Amherst himself had encouraged this tactic in a letter to Ecuyer.
