'@Tzenker' Eh, this is kind of weak reasoning. The US is to blame for "much of that abuse" due to temporarily reintroducing alcohol and tobacco in addition to the other wartime supplies, for a few years about 70 years ago? I admit I don't know this history, but as you presented it, it doesn't seem very convincing. Why isn't it the fault of the Danish for introducing those social ills earlier, or for colonizing them in the first place? Why isn't it the fault of the Greenlanders for actually being the ones using the alcohol and tobacco, and continuing to use them after we left decades ago? We Americans seem pretty tangentially involved in this one.
