And the rural peoples would get their tractors from where? And don't tell me they can farm w/o them. They're not going to, in the foreseeable future.
BTW dude, is that albatross around your neck starting to stink? You repeatedly ask a question with an obvious answer, and when I give you the answer like giving a lollipop to a child, you think you've made some great breakthrough or painted me into a corner.
Uno mass, por favor: no one is arguing that our way of life yields greater prosperity and liberty for its citizens -- the debate is about how to best interact with the rest of the world so as to minimize resentment and foster healthy evolution in places mired in backwardness.
Most all of our attempts to do it at the point of a gun have not worked too well.
