how can i possibly refute the bovine excrement argument?
the problem, doug, is that many undeveloped nations rich in resources are
governed by despots who need to maintain an ignorant population in poverty so
they can continue to use the wealth for their own purposes. when advanced
societies enable this so they can continue their global trade advantage it is
simply the new colonialism.
how can you say we can't help the ver countries we are exploiting with our
resources? it would only be just if advanced countries jointly used sanctions
and other incentives to forve ALL oppressive governments to provide for their
people.

what do you believe can be done to catalyze human rights in those countries;
pre-emptive attacks?
