All I did was to post the article on Goanet, which hardly qualifies, by itself, to qualify me as "the devil" who deserves his due.
Mr. Gabe then posted another report which said, in part, "The report claimed western nations were backing free trade policies devised by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, aiming at an end to barriers, tariffs and subsidies.". Though there was no mention of the US in the report, Mr. Gabe, always on the lookout for some pretext he can use to blame the US, somehow read this as the US joining Britain in being responsible for the farmer suicides in India. Now that you have full disclosure of all the facts, you can decide which devil you choose to give "your due" to.
