Eldridge Cleaver once said that Americans see themselves as a huge rescue squad on permanent call to step in anywhere in the world. He was half right. I do not think that it is an American ailment, it's a disease which is afflicting the whole Western world. Westerners believed it their 'manifest-destiny' to interfere in other society's affairs, whether or not their 'help' are needed. The result is that disasters are created where they did not exist, or compounded where they do.
