<u>I always have admired the Europeans for that</u>: they live in countries where the incomes per capita are the highest of the world, and where the wealth is best distributed; they are the richest persons on earth. Nonetheless they protest, risking their lifes, for the persons who don't have and are suffering. Do you know why? because they know that something is more than enough wrong, and it seems they know pretty well what it is.

Why do you admire the hypocrits?
They have the most, fain worry about the underpriviledged, but will never lower their own standard of living to equalize the capita throughout the world.
The United States gives more $$$ in aid than any other country in the world, but is seen as "bad" by other countries, including many European.
If the US uses it's military might to change countries run by dictators, who hoard the money/power, then the US is a war monger -- regardless of the fact that it improved the "standard of living" for 80% + of the population of that country. If they don't, and just send aid -- see Somalia and Ethiopia, it just make dictators more powerful, and the suffering greater for the needy.
Change has to start at the top, or "things will never change".
On another note: Yes, I think that we should all do more to help the needy. More action, less "b!@#$" about it.
