Good Thing They Have Us

Cuz see, they can't do anything on their own. Pity the poor passive peeps in African/Muslim/Third World places. They need us to bomb them into peace/prosperity/equality/democracy.

An organized leadership push by Muslim women for Muslim women is taking place, quietly but purposefully... Muslim women, who will meet in Malaysia later this year, are pursuing a 10-year plan for advancing women's worldwide leadership within Islam. <Womens E-News>

Yup, they are just waiting there, hoping for bored and wealthy Westerners to come in and save them.
A Malawian teenager built a wind power system for his house... He now provides lighting for his parents' home, and battery charging for his neighbors. His blog (with pictures) is wonderful. <Boing Boing>


Yep, good thing they have us.

how the hell they've gotten along without our interference all these years is beyond me.

oh, yeah, when Europe [where my family came from] was going through the witch hunts and the inquisition, the muslim world had the zero, azimuth, zenith, philosophy and culture far-and-away beyond Europe's. HELLO!!!

they helped Europe to emerge from medieval to renaissance -- and we drove them out of Spain -- after we'd already attacked em in their homeland.

I can't imagine why they might resent us.
