If you think that's bad you should read about what the Belgians did in the Congo or what the British did in India! You'll have loads of fun bedtime reading material for sure.

From the Wiki article,

"Debates regarding the event play an important role in the Hawaiian sovereignty movement."


If two-thirds of the current residents in Hawaii vote for independence I'd be perfectly fine with that.

Did you have to mention Belgium?!?! wink
Just two days ago, the day when he got murdered 62 years ago, he was featured on the Wikipedia frontpage and I read parts of the Article: Lumumba - Foreign involvement in his murder
Looks like everybody wanted him dead for fear of turning communist and/or endangering economic interests - except for Kennedy, which might have accellerated the process...
