the western world don't really forgive debts. they practice unfair trade policies, actually criminal trade policies, bankrupt a country than herd them into imf and other shit that basically makes them give up economic sovereignty as well as political and social.
they, especially the states, sacrificed many countries and freedom movements based on what benefited them and the so-called cold war, which decimated africa, central and south america, and asia. i.e. the anc, like many, first asked for weapons and aid from the bastion of freedom the u.s. (and britain) and were turned down because some of the major leaders were socialist or too left leaning and to top it off refused to sanction, disinvest, or even call out south africa. the most notorious countries to commit assassination of freedom movements, u.s, britain, france, they were supposed to be better than the 'godless' commies...not so much.
hypocrisy and contradiction aren't well liked traits, it's in abundance in the western world, and often blatantly displayed by our governments, thinkin' people are jealous of 'freedom' is a nice fallacy, there are places more 'free', with better overall standards of living, not to be confused with being a richer nation. empty platitudes and the type of thievery with a condescending smile only nations can do, reeking of moral superiority that couldn't stand up to a real litmus test, don't endear those in any country, rich or poor, that actually pays attention.
of course multi national companies and psuedo multi's, increase the damage and thus increase the distrust of all western world countries. when a canadian company conspires with a dictator to eradicate a village to take and increase the land for diamonds, when an american company or a multi like coca-cola are illegally and/or ethically taking the water rights and the land it's on, when garbage is dumped or when early human testing is used in the so-called third world with no safeguards, etc, etc, the love isn't gonna flow.
the people in the west ask why the people in certain countries can allow so and so tyrant, rebel, terrorist, politician, etc, to do things that endanger them or us but in turn don't overstand why they wouldn't want to know why 'we' allow our governments to do effed up things in our name as well.
personally, i prefer to break all the windows in my glass house before i start breaking others, it allows me to see and hear a little more clearly so i don't miss
