22. You are making a big assumption here:
".....The question of how to eventually provide Africans with something approaching a Western standard of living is a very very different question......"

A) It is not physically possible for everyone on the planet to have a Western lifestyle. Takes several planets' worth of resources, and we only have this one.

B) The Western lifestyle is greedy and socially irresponsible and completely unsustainable. None of us will have it at some point in the future.

Now WHY were you poo-poohing this wonderful development???
