duuuude-What is it that we have accomplished "in so few years?" Our wonderful standard of living comes at the expense of the nations to whom we export our need for cheap maual labor. Our political power comes from the world's largest military and the willingness to use it. For every world-wide relief organization we create, we helped destroy the political system of a country that now needs our relief. I'm not saying we are the root of all evil, but we've contributed our share.
