The Bottom Billion: Post Five

Many people have almost given up hope that they can change the world, but it is definitely possible. If the efforts going to help the 'bottom billion' are unified and they address every single part of the problem then it can happen. First, we need to stop being afraid of military action, yes what happened in Somalia and Iraq were PR disasters but using military force to start change in countries that need it is something that might need to happen. The more peaceful attempts to create change in countries that are poor by the UN have almost all failed, they are too weak and they don't send a very forceful message to the governments of those countries. Also many countries need to be involved in this, it can't just be one, it needs to be a world effort. Change also does not happen in countries that do not want change, the societies of these low income countries need to want it, they need to want the social change in their country and want to fight for it no matter what. It should also be noted that the bureaucracy of international organizations and international committees leads to a slowing of change in these countries, so that should be avoided.
