#1 Mr. Clinton---Please read the book, Why Nations Fail: the Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty, and then get back to us with your thoughts. Be prepared to discuss inclusive states vs extractive states and how they apply to today's successes and failures of nations.

Then when you are all smartened up, go to the white house and enlighten your buddy up there. He needs some enlightenment.

And if you see the new SoS, ask him why he threw away $250 million into the toilet for Egypt.

#3 but he cautioned against .... simply taking a "divide the pie" approach of throwing money at the troubled areas to stop the violence.

I would anticipate a rather muted response from USAID.

#4 Poverty my ass, its the fucking Islamists.

When are some of these morons going to get the memo? And will any of them read it if they do.

Someone should have a serious talk with the French about Toulouse or the Brits about Londonistan and maybe they'll get a clue.

Of course they would get a clue if they would really take a hard look at Pakistanarchy

#5 I think the only time Clinton ever told the truth was when he admitted lying about Monica Lewinsky.

#7 Non reciprocal culture ensures poverty, it also enables violence.

No amount of subsidy will correct a faulty inferior culture.

#9 When are some of these morons going to get the memo? And will any of them read it if they do.

When WILL they get the message, or will they, or will they turn their head and yell ALLAH ACKBAR and drown it out.

I'm voting drown it out.

Kill them, and be done with it.
