Sure it's a great idea, but are we really going to make life better for
them? Are we going to replace the entire government and force industry to
establish a suitable minimum wage? Are we going to force the new government
to spread the wealth garnered through oil trade? Are we going to share

we just busting heads because if feels good? So far I haven't heard
ANYTHING about going in and freeing ANYBODY...
