Shep 69,
you are so right - the west are not the shining star example, which I hope my replies did highlight. But, the defensive, nationalistic, border driven mentality in the world today means, that as you so well point out, the beauraucracies are protected inside ivory towers - whiter than white - not wishing to share any knowledge/experience with developing countries whether it be good or bad, only wanting to take. Examples - US invasion of Iraq for oil, nothing real in return - China visits to developing Afriacn nations, again for oil. Your thoughts.
