In short we believe we live in a world of scarcity rather than
abundance so we will grab as much as we possibly can and screw
the 50% who are malnourished. We believe that our interest is
being the only big fish there is and making sure the other fish
stay small in any way possible. We believe it is in our
interest to follow "might makes right". If this is the case
then plase excuse me from that "our".

I don't believe enlightened self interest can exclue the rights
of others.

What a load of krap! You take it all the way back to Hitler and
try to bring up the canard that Saddam is a Hitler? I am sorry,
but this is very offbase.
