NUKUS — The drying up of the Aral Sea is one of the planet's most shocking environmental disasters, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said as he urged Central Asian leaders to step up efforts to solve the problem.

    A terrible ecological nightmare for sure, but its no different than what is happening in Picher, Oklahoma or Centralia, Pennsylvania. Man will tend to royally screw mother nature, either intentionally or unintentionally. Man tends not to look the larger picture. I really hope they can figure out a way to make the Aral Sea large and full of life again.

    I don't believe that political doctrine is to blame, otherwise we could blame the dust bowl on the capitalists. Its just the failings of man at work here, nothing more.

    Also, it was mostly put into action by Stalin (on the late 1940's) to prevent another famine in the area.


    What a humanitarian that Joe Stalin was. ROTFL ROTFL ROTFL

    Given that theory, I guess the Gulag system was actually a chain of resort spa's for overworked Soviet Citizens?

    It is terrible.

    Otherwise, what the Soviets did, worked for what they intended. And continues to work. Also, it was mostly put into action by Stalin (on the late 1940's) to prevent another famine in the area.

    I believe the damage should be repaired.
    It needs to be.

    It's unfortunate that the negative results weren't fully thought-out. I agree with llama66.


    Nothing any communist government ever does is thought out. The idea of someone painting Stalin as a sympathetic man is sickening.

    Besides, it was meant to boost cotton production in the area. It had nothing to do with food or preventing a famine.
