Geez, folks are really piling on, aren’t they?
Well, I for one, appreciate your effort, Hodar, even if it was off by a bit. It still spurred the discussion.
Still, the population is pretty high - but I blame the culture more than anything else. If you look at Africa, the Caribbean islands (ie Jamacia)and pretty much anywhere else, at almost any point in time; you will see the same thing. When you have a culture that promotes violence, demotes education and hard work - you will see this over and over again. There is no cure; it's a cultural issue, a bias that has “self-defeat” built-in.
