You've got a good point, the problem is that many 'bad' countries won't allow direct aid to their inhabitants because they see that it would destroy their position. And i talked about trade, even though it would benefit us all, it will take away some jobs and might lead to less taxes.

The question how to help the inhabitants of countries run by dictators is extremely difficult. When I look at Zimbabwe, I would almost favor regime-change. Almost.

... you mean armed, international intervention?

Well, I already crossed that line with Mugabe. I'd welcome intervention. The only reason that 5 million people haven't died is because emigrants in South Africa uphold them with food and money fluxes. And then there are the damn Chineses... Good grief, this subject makes me angry.
