Interesting. Ever noticed how all societies are deemed a success or failure based on the American concept of what is successful. Recently heard a missionary speak of his experience in Afghanistan. These people have no concept of basic sanitation according to the missionary, nor do they readily accept our sanitation standards, yet they continue to live the way they have for centuries. They manufacture nothing, except for heroine, export nothing, yet they continue to live. What manufactured goods do Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and most of the rest of Muslim middle east produce? Little to nothing. Yet, they continue to exist.
Americans need to understand that the rest of the world cannot be compared to us, and shouldn't be. If the Haitians built inferior buildings and died because of it, that's not our fault, it's theirs. Yes, we should help, but we need to learn to accept the fact that there are people who live in what we consider sub-human conditions, yet continue to thrive, without us, or sometimes in spite of us.
