I'm less upset and surprised about Fox's link to North Korea than I am about Fox having anything to do with the Big Lebowski. Is nothing sacred?

I feel that the problem is that we keep giving money/aid to these thirdworld countries via the IMF and the UN. We prop them up, we devalue their currency to the point that they can't afford to buy anything with their own money. Then their economy collapses sending them into abject poverty. Repeat, wash, rinse. They hate us for it, they burn our flag. We set up puppet governments that are worse than anything they had before. They hate us for it, they burn our flag. We accuse them of being jealous of our rock and roll lifestyle. Some smart, brown fellow catches on and starts a revolution. He threatens "US" intrests. We quash them. Now we are back at square one. Wash, rinse, spit.
The point is, we are free (or at least semi-free) to make certain choices. These people in these countries are being forced into our way of doing things. Dragging these people kicking and screaming into the global economy-marketplace-government-ideology just cuz we know whats best for them is not right! It doesn't seem to be working either, and yet we keep at it.
Yea team! Go broncos!
