Nobody can say that Dhoah Thoan is not a hard worker. You can bet that you don't know anyone that work as hard as he does. But he was born in Sudan, and all his hard work can keep his son from starving to death. Pedro Jimenez could have make it, that was a hard working SOB. But he was legally shot by a racist Texan landowner who claimed that he was trespassing when he was crossing the border...
I'm not saying that the girl you talked about has no merit and owned everything to luck. I'm not saying that you own everything to luck. But without luck, in the system that you preach for, everything is impossible. Human beings live in society to have a better and more easy life. Solidarity is in human nature. Not wanting to pay taxes to aid people in need, is not being smarter or having a better understanding of the world, it's just being a greedy and selfish bastard. Just see a world map, which countries have the biggest standard of living? The longest and more healthy life? It's easy, it's certainly not in the US. It's in the countries where they pay the biggest taxes!

We are not sure why the Islamic Golden Age ended and Islamic Science declined but Mongol and Western Invasions sure played a big role. For India, I don't know the history. In both cases, the last 200 years of western imperialism sure didn't help. To consider that some religions are "better" than other seems to me a very dangerous idea. Sure, the Internet was not invented by an Arab, but the reason for this lies more in the fact that his country was destroyed several times and is now controlled by western countries that want its natural resources than in his religion.

In the present war against terror, I don't think that pulling out from some countries and finally allowing the creation of a viable Palestinian State should be considered a "terrorist victory", but quite the opposite. If you wait for the bombs to stop blowing before you try to solve the problems, you are going to wait a long time. Because there will always be at least one idiot to blow another bomb. I'm just interested in dealing with those issues in a manner that works. I'm not advocating to give peace to the terrorists but to give peace to the populations where the terrorists live. Which is the only way to defeat terror groups in the long term. Kill all the brutes is clearly not working, it just creates more brutes.
