Let's take a look at the Gates Foundation to see what they have been about...........................see where all this good ole money is going to go.......
Global development...
'all lives everywhere have equal value'
Sounds real good until you start to look at real politics and commerce;
then it starts to look more like short sighted developmentalism, albeit with "the conscience of a liberal", like Krugman's motto, somewhat.
When they get developed, pulled out of poverty, what do you suppose they need (being added to the 3 billion new capitalists)? Ever more of those ever more scarce resources we all want a lot of.
What do you suppose they want to do? Espouse 'all lives everywhere have equal value'?
Not likely.
What will they be more likely to do?
They will first and foremost support standing up for their own country, or their own civilization, against others if necessary, including most notoriously, ours.
Why? You may ask?
Because theirs, ultimately, not ours, will be the only one to support them, in their struggle for a decent life.
