Funny, I thought it was utterly corrupt governance, poor support for private property rights and failure to honor and uphold contract law that was holding them back.

What a pantload. How do you even quantify that? The U.N. is a bad joke.

Joe Wilson, in the 90's, also had minerals trading interests and could be found conveniently posted to nations rich in Uranium deposits (Niger, Gabon, West coast of Equatorial Africa) very convenient for one so invested.

Unfortunately, Wilson could find no yellowcake trading even thouugh he was invested. Also convenient, as the yellowcake went to Iraq, and was found there AFTER the second war. Saddam's original stock of yellowcake was confiscated after the first (Kuwait) war.

Wilson again profiting from the destruction of American foreign policy.

How come we never hear a report about gender inequality in places like Saudi Arabia?
