If you remove the protectors of civilization from a region, lawlessness will rapidly take its place.

Personally, I believe the continent of Africa should have been left alone from the beginning. However, the greed of politicians will not allow.
It has been proven many times that you cannot bring a third world state up to a first world state quickly. Does not work. Lead a horse to water... Afghanistan is likely the most recent example.

Third world morals are not the same as first world morals.
Without a higher moral standard, civilization cannot exist.
