[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 832506, member: 31608"] How much of a better position would every person in this country be if we had not helped other countries further their own development? In a pure sense of my interest before others, do I, as Joe Citizen of some country, really care if others are poor, as long as I am not? I can donate money to any number of charities to help me sleep at night. If a nation constantly strived for fairness, any supremacy it had would be down the drain very shortly; because less principled nations would take advantage of our altruism and generosity, and before long the servant would be the master. Or, so this train of thought goes. [/QUOTE]
