i'll do this by paragraphs lol

P1; we agree to a point. this is a horrible example to set. and still there are those who would have us continue to interfere with the development of other nations. to set more bad examples. so let them be. let them succeed or fail on their own merit. if, as america did during our revolution, they should APPEAL to us for aid in freeing them, then good! by all means! but to jump in without invitation just breeds resentment.

P2; this is hard to argue for me. their wealth goes into the pockets of their elite, who use it to buy western guns to get and keep more of that wealth. and then kill their own people. for which they need more western guns.

it's crap. but it's also a story as old as human history. we know the last part; eventually the people get fed up and there comes from the blood and pain a nation that lasts, and has stability.

so do we interfere?

P3; eh. don't apologise it's not the best word to use. i just don't know a better one for that idea.

P4; how many boats can we buy for how many fishermen? seriously? and again my choice of the word bakruptcy was bad. valid, but i should have elaborated more. when any instituution, person, corporation, or whatever carries more debt than they can hope to pay, aren't they considered financially insolvent? it's this threatening instability that worries me so much. these foreign adventures are so often a distraction from mismanagement at home. i want to know that my own country has it's economic problems in line before i support trying to do anything else for anyone. perhaps i'm just a selfish person, but if i'm in debt up to my eyeballs the local soup kitchen is S.O.L.

took awhile but i made it back here
