I don't care how many Europeans there are.

You should. As populations continue to grow in third world countries, there are going to be increasing levels of civil unrest and rebellions. These will spread to neighboring countries and will eventually involve our allies.

Or you can look at it another way: bin Laden's dream of creating an Islamic Superpower -- stretching from the Middle East to the Phillipines -- to rival the United States and democracy will all but be assured if the population trends in those regions continue on their current path.

One way or another, this is an issue that is going to effect us if we don't help these countries get their population growth under control.
