We should train them a lot more in agriculture, too - so they can finally grow their own food, and ofcourse give them some more modern equipment.
That was what the Peace Corp of the '60s did.
You know, I shouldn't even say this online, but I'm going to anyways.
The problem is, the difference between north and south richness and welfare.
I was in the Bahamas twice, so I can relate a little bit.
But, to see Haiti more then a year after the earthquake hit them, and you still see ruble everywhere and not much has been done, yes, that disturbs me.
Look how fast the Europeans cleaned up all the ruble after WWII, especially the Germans !
Everything was cleaned up, factories rebuilt, and everyone partcipated, young and old were out in the streets cleaning up stone by stone.
Haitians, they are waiting for someone else to do it for them.
I believe most African nations have that same mentality, and it's kind of sad.
Maybe that's even the reason why most middle eastern countries have dictatorships, because on their own they are useless ???
You'll see a big difference in Japan. Japan will even make New Orleans look even worse.
I have confidence the Japanese people will have this huge Tsumami disaster cleaned up very quickly, assuming radiation levels go down far enough so they can actually start on the clean-up process.
I don't think it took them long to rebuild Hiroshima and Nagasaki !
My point is, if we don't change those poor countries atitudes and mentalities, give them some work ethic, so that they enjoy the rewards that come with it, otherwise it's almost a lost, never ending cause.
I guess Jamica is another country that lacks behind in the above statement.
