The developed nations "national interests" are in conflict with third world's national interests when the "interests" are based on market forces. The oil producer's national interests are not compatible to West or US's interests. One needs the commodity that other one produces. Fox and chicken will never have the same lot in life.

What we need is a clear set of global rules that protects the powerless's interests. Otherwise the powerful will take and take and take until there is no more. Meanwhile the natural selection forces will deepen the cultural gap to a flash point. When all these interactions will be reset and reworked with roles reversed. So, lets break the cycle and move forward not backward!!!!!OK
