Your anger is misplaced. It's precisely these countries' governments that prop up dictators and princes that accumulate all that wealth instead of investing/distributing amongst their own people.

What goes around, comes around. And please don't tell me that the people are not representative of the govt. Most western governments are democratic....and I don't think ordinary civilians can have any more power than what they already have(even though they might not exercise it).

Btw, this makes me wonder if we should make foreign affairs something that is more actively debated amongst the general public than Kadarshians/Hollywood/Royal Babies.
