At the moment, we have the Iraqi problem (the one started from the fact that the greedy west went into Iraq to ensure that our supply of oil was safe).
When talk was abbounding in the News about the invasion of Iraq by the west, I was one of the Idealists (and more than often therefore easily duped) who congratulated Blair on joining in (I even sent him a personal letter saying that I thought he was doing the right thing) - and I got a handwritten card back from him (and it was he who wrote and signed it0.............He must have got so many like mine..........
The reason I bring this up is because I saw the stars of the new film (forget the name).......what a surprise!
A film produced in rwanda/Burundi about the mess we Westeners have been ignoring there, and the need for people like us (The first world, comfortable in our wealth - as nations-(well, on paper)) to become involved in removing obstacles to the development of second World and third world Countries.
So, this is what I ask: Was it wrong for the West to depose Saddam Hussein ?- would it have been immoral to ignore the problem? Do we have a duty to try and care for the countries that are struggling ? - and if so, how should we limit our involvement (and get rid of those selfish motives that go along side)?
