Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, for example, accused powerful nations of failing to solve the Middle East conflict, and argued a more equitable world is in rich nations’ interests — “as long as they do not make the mistake of ignoring the hideous cry of the excluded.” And are the "excluded" going to be willing to make the necessary social and economic changes that will enable them to be "included"?? Look at Somalia and Sudan, Sylvester.. Just what will WE be required to do to make them "included"?? Which warlord are you willing to support in order to accomplish it?? (oh.. yeah.. has to be the Marxist and Islamo-Fascist ones.. ;0) Hell, look at the empty words of the world when it comes to Iraq!! They don't give a sht about the Iraqis, so what makes you think these "critics" of the US really give a sht about the rest of the "excluded" world?? They can't (won't) do anything about it, so they b*tch about how the US isn't doing enough... Makes them feel a hell of a lot better, while NOT DOING A DAMN THING for the poor. The issue was thrust to the fore over the first few days of the General Assembly with a string of speeches from leading critics of the United States — the presidents of Bolivia, Iran, Sudan and Venezuela — who also riffed on their anger toward America at lengthy news conferences. Where's THEIR plan of action?? As for me.. I'm more than willing to help those who want to help themselves... But if they are looking for a hand-out to subsidize their current dysfunctional attitudes about how to create economic growth and progress, I'll send them your way.. Hawk
