#2 "Getting back the land means we're getting back all the natural resources, we're nationalising all the natural resources."

That's what Mexico did in the early half of the 20th Century. What did it get them other than an economy that has to rely up expelling a large portion of their own population and a dependency upon the money those send back to keep the economy afloat even though the country is blessed with abundant arable land, mineral resources, and vast petroleum reserves. Mexico is only able to rank eleventh in GDP. South Korea whos GDP was basically zero by the end of the Korean War, with an area the size of Florida, about 50 million people and no natural resources and very limited arable land is number thirteen in GDP. Proof that intelligence is finite, there are just more people in the world today.

#9 And even Indians (from India) are getting into the act

Bolivia awards El Mutun mine deal to India's Jindal

Bolivia's leftist government on Thursday awarded Jindal Steel and Power Ltd. a contract to develop El Mutun, a site believed to contain one of the world's biggest iron-ore deposits.

Officials said Jindal vowed initially to invest a total of $2.3 billion to mine ore and produce steel -- the biggest investment in a single project in Bolivian history and a boost for the government of President Evo Morales, which nationalized the energy industry last month.

#10 Wait till Evo Morales discovers that Naveen Jindal isn't a native

Naveen Jindal is a member of parliament, India since 2004 representing the constituency of Kurukshetra in the state of Haryana. He is a member of the Congress Party. He is an industrialist with operations located in Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh. He runs the rail & steel and power businesses of the Jindal Group, the fourth largest private sector Indian business group by assets and sales turnover.

Prior to 2002, the Flag code of India did not permit flying of the Flag of India on non governmental institutions. In 2001, a case was filed against Naveen Jindal for flying the Flag of India atop his company building. He said that he was inspired by his American friends displaying their flag during his college days in USA and he believed that flying the national flag should be the right of every Indian. He took the case to the Delhi High Court and the Supreme Court of India and won both cases. The Supreme Court ordered the Government of India to set aside a committee to look into this matter. Finally on January 26, 2002 (India's Republic Day), private citizens were allowed to fly India's flag inside and atop their buildings and institutions. His story was reported widely in the Indian media which hailed him as a liberator.

Naveen Jindal excels in skeet shooting and holds a national record. He also plays polo.
