Exactly! For Europeans to develop to the point they could dominate the rest of the world, they took a thousand years to recover from Roman imperialism and develop distinct ethic/national identities. We have to not interfere with the third world and be willing to not interfere for a thousand years for them to sociologically mature to the point they can operate effectively in the first world.

The solution to problems caused by imperialism is never more imperialism. The solution to such problems can only come from within those people.

Sounds like a good rationale for letting a lot of people die right now.
