Rice or Biodeisel, Cyclone or Money?

The recent cyclone that hit Bangladesh has utterly wiped out millions of people and everyone surely knows that the death toll alone and the country's lack of interest in the immediate aid of its people is shocking alone. If you look in the months before the cyclone you will see an alarming idea onset by the growing number of rice fields being bulldozed away by the militant rulers to make way for bio-diesel crops. Let alone reminding oneself that we all have to change what we put into the air doesn't mean that people have to die in the process. The double edged sword of politics seem ever more to reap the benefits either way.
