As the film above clearly shows their is something to be said for doing that. In truth the best thing we could do is help the women in that country get an education, and get better health care so their mortality rate is not so high. That we really did not do that to me signifies that we really do not give a crap. We could best do that by asking the women what they want us to do and then do it. We don't. Imperialism doesn't happen any longer the way we view it historically, it happens rather subversively , "diplomatically, and depends on who is paying for any given countries resources and what is given in return. It's more a barter these days. Indeed if we were truly as we want to appear we would offer up only aid and allow them to do with it as they please.

Imperialism doesn’t happen any longer the way we view it historically, it happens rather subversively , “diplomatically, and depends on who is paying for any given countries resources and what is given in return. It’s more a barter these days.
