Two examples of why throwing money at problems doesn't fix them: Africa (as mentioned above) and American Ghettos. :D

The problems started prior to WW2. And yes it was because Europeans went perpendicular to tribal bands when drawing their countries. It was brilliant in terms of destroying such a large continent with just a few lines on a map, but in the long run now we have to listen to every bleeding heart bitch about it and now the whole world is paying into the cesspool because of Europe's greed. This is why I suggest we cease all American aid to the region until Europe triples what we have put into the region.

It must piss the liberals off to no end to see the United States missing from the list.
 
Eh, we can still be blamed for the Slave Trade. You know, the one in which African tribal leaders went to war with each other, enslaved and sold their captured foes to the Spanish or British, who then shipped them to the Caribbean or Central America?

Ah yes, the Scramble of 1880. US pretty much did nothing on that continent.

Notice the picture with the "workers" without limbs:
Scramble for Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I blame America.

what about the greeks and romans and egyptians who were doing it long before the arabs

early europeans in the case of the greeks and the romans; so they are duly evil. as for the Egyptians, there are two possibilities. 1: that's just their culture and you are racist for not being more understanding and tolerant or 2: they were enslaving jews, who later would found the apartheid state of israel, so it was okay.
 
Now the rich are expect to pay, to get rid of the hoax.
 
as per the OP, it suddenly occurs to me. wasn't electing Obama president supposed to heal the planet?
