Conquest and colonization are the only proven remedies for backwards societies.

The British took a primitive culture like India and forced civilization onto it. Now India is competing with the West for high-tech capital investment.

Point well taken, and no society already on the downward slide to hell, doesn't need help from bedwetting liberals. Why is Uganda(right country?) the liberal's dirty little secret? If I have the right african country, they are the only African country experiencing a decrease in AIDS, illegitimate births, and other social maladies. Why? Because the president became a christian, and demanded that the nation follow christian values.

There probably would have been a time I would have cursed out such a statement as you made, but I'm getting to realize that civilized culture was one of the good things that God wrought out of slavery. I didn't read any racist books to figure that out. Given the fact that we are in a fallen, imperfect world, good things sometimes happen through imperfect means.

Bono is a pipsqueak that needs to pimp the poor african countries to make himself feel good. His music sucks and so does his politics.
