Do Bush and Rice want Indians to starve so american oil prices come down?

Most of you know about what Bush and Rice said This is what he said: "There are 350 million people in India who are classified as middle class. That’s bigger than America. Their middle class is larger than our entire population. ” “And when you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food. And so demand is high, and that causes the price to go up" Does his words reflect the american way of thinking? I hope not. For the record America has one of the largest percentage of obesity in the world and the percent of food wasted per capita is larger there. India has one of the largest percentage of malnutrition in the world and everyday kids are dying everyday without food (or money). The American middle and upper class eat a lot more per person than India. India is a large country. Period. We dont need people who dont understand economics or society to make judgemental statements without knowing the truth. Does a developing country need to starve in order to keep american oil prices (and the presidents office) happy? What foolishness! Yes - the Indian middle class in India is starting to eat more - but that is none of your business Mr. Bush/Ms. Rice or anybody else who thinks that way - people in your own country have been doing that for years and you need to look at that. Stop picking on every country in the world! And trying to do damage-control by saying that it was a compliment to Indias improving economy is just crap - what you said has been on every TV channel and newspaper and was in VERY bad taste and as someone who has seen children die with no food/malnutrition I think it was thoughtless and hurting!
