OK: Most countries that are identified
as "third world" will have lower levels of personal
violence than the US, I think.
It's wrong to speak of Brasil as third-world, as it will
soon surpass the US in food production and is the economic
center of Latin America. Nevertheless it does have some
third-world qualities, and the violence there is terrible.
The Folho of Sao Paulo ran an article after Bush's "mission
accomplished" speech.
*More people had died of street violence in Sao Paulo than
had died on both sides of the invasion of Iraq during the
same time period.
*More people have died of street violence in Sao Paulo than
have died in the Intafada, during the time period of the
Intafada.
Depends which violence you privilege, I guess.
