Myth #1: We aren't responsible.
Actually, we are. We have trade barriers that keep them from exporting products to our countries. We take crude resources from their countries and pay insanely low prices because of pay-offs to corrupt officials and regimes. We support those corrupt officials and regimes. We divided the continent into countries which contain two or more tribes which have hated eachother for thousands of years, and split other tribes out over several countries. For hundreds of years, we've taken away their strongest men and women to become our slaves. We sent out thousands of missionaries to convince them their way of life was wrong.
In short: we came, we conquered, we looted, we wrecked. And now things are going bad over there... big surprise.
And FlyingIguana: Muslim law says to donate 10% of your income to charity. And, even more surprising: most actually do that.
(and where the fuck did you get that "take care of your own first" idea? someone is "your own" simply because he happened to be born within a 1000 miles from you? nationalism is dumb)
