dictators are really the only people that keep them from killing each other

Yeah I mean, let them rule, but we will develop all your stuff and shit, economic investment and all that crap

the middle east would be more stable and prosperous

Dictators are needed in places where individuals can't respect each-other

rather than the West kicking over all the ant hills

@ManAnimal seems like a better world

peace at the end of a gun isn't a world i would call 'better'

just more peaceful

USA is so individualist exactly because they were left to their own devices (or, rather their own guns) and **learned** to respect each-other's individuality

@ashzeppelin Western corporations have done what china is doing all the time

The difference is china hasn't experienced what happens when the native country decides to seize foreign investment properties

USA had its growing pains on their journey to 1st and 2nd amendments

@Uksio is right; such internal conflicts are like forest fires

I mean I would rather live in Saddam's Iraq than modern day Iraq

they MUST be allowed to burn each other out until exhaustion before the people will accept a peaceful form of governance

yup

That's the point, hammered home right there

if you intervene, break up the fight, the losers will always continue to beleive that the oNLY reason they lost was the winner had a big brother

As long as they are allowed to segregate and dehumanise other segregate groups there will be wars

as soon as that big brother isn't around, the fighting resumes

you cannot BE there all the time

But let em decide on their own

any responsible parent knows this

Africa... though... never stops fighting

africa has no identity

that is the irony

They have a rotten habit of killing the smart ones for witchcraft

Supposed smart ones

Bigs are their own worst no ghtmare

Always have

Well, the individual nations had more of an identity at one point.

Africa was historically a tribal dominated nation.
All the borders and countries you see today are crafted up by the colonial rulers

peoples of africa have always struggled to develop an abstract identity that wasn't tied to skin color

Africans most definitely kill the industrious

>mfs destroying centuries of eueopean infrastructure

Um

Africa isn't a nation

Anyonw who has business in africa and becomes successful will die

Guys

Remember that
