Good story.
In those days, when you tired of a country, you could just go home.
Nowadays, in an age when we cannot offend anyone, we can't just go home.

We hang around for years, giving aid and money, and try to make other countries become like us, even though they have no intention or desire to become like us. Sure, the women like the "Freedom" idea. The peasants like the capitalism idea.
But the Kings and Princes, (who are still in charge), want us to shove those ideas to where the sun never shines! They see us for what they perceive us to be- a sugar daddy, or worse, an endless supply of care packages, medical aid, and free infrastructure construction equipment.
Who is right? What is right? Who determines what is right? Should we go home now?
