Raped by the west?? Their slash and burn policies have been praciticed because they do nont know how to cultivate properly. The West has poured gobs of money and education programs into these areas, but they still practice slash and burn. You know why? Because it's easier that rotating crops to replenish the soil. ie...laziness
And as far as the west raping these countries, if it weren't for the generosity and compassion of the west (especially the American people), they would be in far more shitty condition.
