You have too much spare time and are becoming delusional.

Stop foreign aid which funds third world dictatorships.   Pull out western government intervention, since they are rarely ever able to achieve any of their stated goals, anyhow.  Let the corrupt regimes run out of money.  Eventually, they will be unable to pay for the rottweilers that keep the masses down.  Then the poor people have a fighting chance of beating their poverty.\n\nAs a side note, power has a way of attracting the the most corrupt, self-serving members of society.   So to see it in other countries, as well as my own, comes as no surprise.

I wish I knew! I also agree with you that it is incredibly cynical to occupy a part of a nation that you at the same time have an economic embargo against and use the land that you occupy in that country to commit human rights abuses while publicly complaining about the president of that nation.

LOL, Kim Jong Il has starved millions of his people, I dont think they even have a position on Human Rights, let alone any kind of enforcement of them.

Lots of celebrity activists have had criminal convictions, usually for standing up to unjust laws: Gandhi, Mandella, Dr. King, etc.\n\nMany famous actors, musicians, etc. can get away with it because they are rich and nobody cares.

I suspect that when you talk about people we love to hate are minor villains like the oil company ex and politicians. the reason that we run across them so often is that there a re lots of them and they keep a high profile.

All governments have some sort of corruption, and I'm not sure it will ever be solved.  It is important to remember that certain people are blamed for being corrupt when they aren't and others aren't blamed when they should be.  It depends on who the media hates that day!  Usually, when one politician blames another for being corrupt, it can usually be revealed that (s)he is corrupt in certain ways as well.  Though it doesn't make our politicians right, compared to other govt's I think we have it pretty good.  We could be like Saddam's old Iraq and worry about being thrown into a tree chipper for dissenting.

Yes, there is so much lobbying for human rights in this country that people who need to be locked up are set free, or given very light sentences.  Longer/more severe sentences would not only keep them off the streets longer, but they would make people more afraid of commiting the crime.  This is why the death penalty works, it scares people.

Corruption occurs everywhere, even in health system.The source of corruption is poverty, mentality (in some cultures it is something inborn and it is viewed as just a way to say thanks for the service. bureaucracy is another source of corruption, people prefer to pay instead of running from one clerk to another one.In media corruption has another form people just buy media corporations(e.g Berlusconi (Italian prime minister)bought several media companies, just to promote his personally and to hide his crimes)

Versus the Kenyans from Asian countries?\nPower is a corrupting force and has been a part of most civilized peoples interaction with government.  Whether it is cronyism or selling your vote ot embezlement, you can find it almost everywhere, it is just more stark in Africa as the news most western nations recieve abour Africa is negative and the differences in the income levels, a poor person there versus a rich persus is quite vast.

there is some amount of guilt involved.  Today's rich countries have become so by the rape and plundering of poorer nations.

Not sure of the question here, but...\n\nPolitics is corrupt?...well, no. But some POLITICIANS are certainly corrupt...in my personal opinion the current US administration is the most corrupt since the well documented corruption of the Nixon years.\n\nGROWING-UP nation as well?...what does THAT mean?\n\nIf you are implying that the governments of 3rd world countries have a worse reputation for corruption, well...yes.\nBut we are starting to see genuine 'peoples' leaders emerging in some countries. (Venezuela's Chavez is a good example.)\n\nChavez, since being elected, has, in a sense, "decorrupted" his country by returning ownership of the natural resources to the locals, rather than the US corporations that were raping and plundering the economy, sharing with a select few only.\n\nFor putting his people's needs above those of the multi-national (mostly US owned) corporations, Chavez has been subjected to a string of lies and abuse from the White House and its cronies, including the now famous quote from "Christian" Pat Robetson that "someone should assassinate him" (Chavez)\nSo much for "Thou shalt not kill", let alone "Do unto others"...in my opinion anyone who preaches violence toward any living human is NOT a man of God.\n\nHe even managed to survive a US backed coup attempt because the people came onto the streets in the hundreds of thousands and stood up to the army, and bravely persuaded them not to attack their own people to support rich foreigners...and amazingly, the army listened, for they could see themselves that Chavez is a good man, doing good for ALL the people of Venezuela, not just the elite.\n\nAnd THAT, is where I see "dignity implied"...where the 3rd world governments are standing up to the corruption imposed on them by their powerful and VERY corrupt neighbor to the north.\nHere are some links...just a few of the dozens available that tell more than I can here.

Because they are often manipulated to completely depend on their abuser. Lots of people think that abuse is just physical, it's not, the abuser puts down the victim so much  and isolates them so that they think that they could never make it on their own, and noone else would want them and they have no other options. Also, abuser often controlls money, could threaten to kill victim if she leaves (most victims get killed when trying to leave) hurt victims' children, other family members or pets.

That's the biggest problem with politics in all of Africa ,\nthe great majority of so called leaders are all former criminals and they reward their cronies with positions in government.The very few decent, honest and duly elected leaders have a up hill battle to do the right thing for the people. AFRICA AS A WHOLE IS A BASKET CASE AND THE PLUG NEEDS TO BE PULLED NOW .
