If you will notice Greg,The countries where people are starving are the
countries that never fully embraced Capitalism.
   You keep referring to Countries that make consumer goods for The West,But
I will name five Counties who were piss poor third world countries who
started making things for the |West and who are now developed,enriched and
no longer require foreign help:Taiwan,South Korea,Thailand ,Hong kong,
Malaysia......And China is getting there.These places all started off "Being
slaves to the West" ,gradually built up their wealth ,And can now stand on
their own feet
     The counties that never started to produce things are the ones where
all the problems are.
    So,Stop looking for negatives and so-called injustices and look at the
benefits of the Status Quo.
