No one here gives a **** about the middle east, we only care about our individual country's and the International organazations that they belong to.

ppffftt, im guessing you also think we should end poverty? via self-sacrifice and giving our enemy's economic aid.

If he dosen't then hes my kind of person, a god dam survivalist not a left-wing morron that thinks Democracy and prosperaty can exist all around the wolrd
This might be a bit

but.

My father whas a journalist, he reporterd a loot during the War with the Colonies, unlike the rest of Europe Portugal still had a Colonial Empire, even if life in portugal during the Dictatorship whas the equivilant of living in the USSR,

but my father once reported on 50 new hospital beds being donnated to the newly-independent Guineia-Bissau's only hospital (post-dictatorship portugal) and he reported 1 week later on how all of the beds were stolen because goverment officials sold the beds in a auction to serve has regular beds for people to sleep in, this is just one of millions of examples that Africa is hopellesly corrupt and aney attempt's to change that will fail miserabuly.

Don't you think that is a product of the conditions in that nation rather than some inherent dysfunction in the people? Because we are so used to not having beds to sleep in yet are monstrously uncorrupt..
