That still wont make 3rd world nations any better than 3rd world, because 3rd world is where they Choose to live.
They will not advance past 3rd world until they have gone through thier own version of "reformation, enlightenment , industrialization and the rest of the steps the US and the other western 1st world nations had to undertake. Until they raise themselves out of the past, they will not have much of a future.

This is one of the most ignorant posts I've ever read.
The "third world" (I hate that term.. it's outdated) isn't poor because they choose to be. It's poor because it is exploited by a mixture of corrupt governments (both indigenous and foreign), multi-national corporations and religion.
