switzerland, lived a year in Australia.

Who are we to decidede what is a better place? WHat is better for me hasn't to be better for you. So I would say that a country can decide to help another or not to help only when the country asks for help. The question arises what should have been done if the majority of the iraki people asked to be debarassed from Saddam? Should this war been made or not? Was war the only solution to help the majority of the iraki people to get rid of saddam?
I would say No and yes: No there wouldn't have been the need to start a war and yes there were other solutions (better than the embargo, a stupid example giving saddam all the money he wanted so that he could live as a pharaon asking in exchange a passage to a democratic system).

This shows also another point, when a country A decides to help country B after B asked for help, it should be B that decides what kind of help they want and not A that imposes a kind (like the world bank and the WMF like so much to do).
