Probably the biggest problem in the third world is the population explosion. Why bring people into the world you can't feed or take care of?

That was my exact thought. Why is population increasing in these blighted regions?

They still consume a fraction of the world resources that we do. This guy's account is simplistic, at best. He says capitalism is the cure-all? How come we're not providing for it? Many countries' attempts to enter world markets are annexed by companies from the First World. We capitalize off of oil in war torn Nigeria, diamonds from conflicts in Sierra Leone... It's not that they'd rather just wallow in wars or foolish (and bloody) land redistribution, it's that we have a hold of the only resources they could use to get out of the rut.
