I disagree. Once a nation becomes sovereign, there is no excuse for poverty. Each nation is only limited by its own means and goals. The proof will be in India. It took India some time after they finally returned to an independent nation in 1947, but one day she will be the economic empire (or China will).
>>World poverty exists because the U.S. exploits those countries???? That is a whole new history Hilmar.

>Actually, it is not specifically the U.S. In the past, it was mainly European countries that exploited peoples in America, Asia, Africa. The results persist until now.
