The 20th century handed man incredible tools to do great works and to alleviate suffering. The spluttering of the Western economies plus the incredible population increases described by Mr. Myers are pretty strong evidence that aid will stall or be insufficient. Third-world populations will possibly increase yet more. The tolerances are too thin.<br /><br />There's the element of enabling as well. Short-term aid coupled with changes in the culture might have been worth it but, as Myers makes clear, prolonging lives or enabling population increases where the lives are lived in the same ghastly Islamic barbarism and ignorance isn't a real option either.<br /><br />It can fairly be objected that it's easy for me to say and how would I like to be, etc., etc. But there's still no getting around the fact that more and longer life is by no means life that is livable.<br /><br />At what point does the West start kicking at the fingers of those who are clinging to the skids of the helicopter?Col.
