: Second point- technically, it wasn't the "Belgians", it was King Leopold. The Congo was his private estate, not the public property of Belgium. This should convince anybody of the wonders that private enterprise can bring about (more sarcasm).

Thanks for the correction, though it is awful to know. Who did Leopold have execute these horrors? Also why is this event so hushed up compared to the nazi holocaust? My Belgian friends don't seem to know much of this themselves.
