I like the way he ignore's the West in the article.
It's not like we've done any good in 2004, 2005, 2006.
Maybe we can do something positive in 2007 (getting rid of Blair)
And 2008 (Get rid of the other muppet Bush).
After this comedy duo leave the world stage, maybe the world can start moving forward again
Myself, friends and family are still enjoying our lives. The ones that are miserable are the ones that are worrying terrorist attacks, killer viruses, plane crashes etc.
Yes, we can all contribute to making the world better, but once you have done your bit, what more can you do?
The media (which we have a lot more of these days) doesn't help by fuelling paranoia.
The world is as bad as you see it.

There have been medical and technology developments for the wealthy west, that the rest of the world won't enjoy it ever for lack of money.
You can't really comment about the fact the the West is getting richer every year, because then you will have to explain WHY 3 million people have died in Congo.
The rest of the world is getting worst because companies steal, kill to make West world richer.

Originally posted by JeeThe reason Africa continues to slide into the ditch is because of bad governance. It has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of foreign aid the West sends or doesn't send. As Prager rightly states in his article, some Africans are begging the West to suspend foreign aid so that the corrupt regimes of the kleptocrats will collapse.

As to your other remark about poor countries never being able to enjoy the technological advances of the West, I shouldn't even have to comment on such an ill-informed opinion. Even Third World countries like Bangladesh, Viet Nam and France now have indoor plumbing, central heat and air, and clean water.

Sweet Jesus, if it goes on like this the US will end up with no friends at all.
Well, okay, less than no friends then...

It is difficult to imagine any other future scenario for Western Europe than its becoming Islamicized or having a civil war.
Now I live in western Europe, and I don't see society oving towards civil war or Islam.
Maybe this Prager guy is just a raving Islamophic?
It is also interesting to see him saying the US founding values were judeo-christian- when I thought the constution was secular.
And the way he see secularisation as more backwards than a belief that some being created the universe in a week- what a guy! 🙄

Your opinions all come from the ncpa or some other neo-con source- not exactly unbiased.
