My fear of hunger theory? clarify please...

Gah, apart from internal corruption, often the leading cause of national poverty (take Nigeria for example - Oil rich but the people are poor - the moeny is siphoned off by a few at the top) is a: Foreign debt, the sheer volume of money it takes to service thsoe debts stop any real economic expansion, and lack of access to wealthy foreign markets. Remove thsoe two constraints and i beleive many of these economies would thrive. As for bin laden, tw pretty much hit the mark.
