A time will come when westerners will learn to understand that :
- theirs is NOT the only way in life. There might be societies in which the people deem fit to trade in individual liberties for greater benefits to society and faster growth.
- not to force a kind of governance and economy which they have developed and think is suitable for all people of all cultures.
Live and let live.
I think India is setting a perfect model of how to leap-frog a large number of people from abject poverty to comfortable lives - through a very judicious mixture of socialism to help the most needy and investing in advanced technology to reap it's longer term benefits.
