Truly a conundrum. Us Westerners are just sitting with our hands folded as large swathes of Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya and Palestine have been rendered uninhabitable over the last half century for reasons unknown to man. The white man's is truly a heavy burden to bear.

    I can't claim to know much about the specifc countries he's mentioning here, but I am someone living in a country whose population keeps electing the most corrupt politicians that are not interested in good governance at all and I can confirm that I dream of the day when another country has the courage and moral fiber to fix our mess we very clearly are not adequately fixing on our own.
