Its not even interesting. Its the same old regurgitated garbage that spends all its energy blaming rich countries for the dismal conditions in developing nations.

"Since we live in a world of scarce resources, not all good projects can be funded."...

Success at Doha trade negotiations could boost global income by $3 trillion per year, of which $2.5 trillion would go to the developing countries. ... "Trade reform is not just for the long run, it would make people in developing countries better off right now."

Translation: redistibute the wealth so we can all suffer equally. Yep! I am gonna vote for that!

Crop prices have surged over the last two years and what are the developing nations screaming about?

"The World Bank estimates that higher food prices are pushing 30 million Africans into poverty. Zoellick said African leaders wanted action, not words."

U.N.: 50 percent more food needed by 2030 - World environment - MSNBC.com

Higher food prices and more starvation in the very nations whining about subsidies. Look at whats really going on. Zimbabwe. You have s. Africans attacking illegal aliens in less than 5 years over the impact on their economy. Africa will not take care of its own internal problems. Sudan, Somolia, Zimbabwe, Congo, etc. And you cant get these nations to lift a finger for their neighbors. Its an internal matter... Well, stable food supplies in the USA are an internal matter. Subsidies are an internal matter. If we want to grind up corn to sprinkle over all the US cities, its an internal matter (bio-fuels).

Look at Myanmar! Rather the people suffer than borders open up for Aid.
Rice hording. Export bans from various 'developing' nations.

BBC NEWS | Americas | UN food chief urges crisis action

They sure missed the mark with this article. The prosperity of a nation comes from within.
