Eric, I fully take your point. As a Christian, one thing that really makes me very uncomfortable is to think of the huge number of innocent people that's going to get killed in the military act in the forseeable future. I know that we will try to limit our action to minimum damage, but still...a life is a life. And I don't see why lives of American people are more precious than those from the third world. Iarry

ot: Nice idea. Curious, are you willing to sell your boat and second home to help pay for the idea? Don't mean to start an argument, but the US already throws so much taxpayer money away trying to help the world, and it seems like all we accomplish is financing the despots you mentioned.knc

Eric, Your thoughts are nice but in reality situation in third world countries is not that "clean and easy" to fix. Most off these 3rd world countries are ruled by dictators which in most cases are supported by west for some reason or the other. Majority of people living in 3rd world countries don't even know what Wall Street is - they are more concerned in getting a piece of bread (and I mean it) or sleep hungry. Also corruption is rampant, 90% or more of IMF/World Bank aid makes it way back to Swiss banks, development only happens on paper !!!
