Hidden Pride

Many people in the West insist on foreign intervention. Some even believe that a country that does not become involved in such intervention is a bad evil country. However, many who think this way fail to see how no sides of a conflict is completely innocent. These pro-intervention people argue that governments must help where possible, but fail to see that it is a matter between the parties involved in the conflict to resolve the conflict themselves as they are in the best possible position. In addition to this, such intervention may stir up more conflict and increase, not decrease social stability. Ultimately, seeing the need to intervention because one's own country can resolve such conflicts is based on the prideful belief that one is superior. This is why so many countries in the Africa and Asia, as well as the Middle East see the West as a cunning enemy, not a benevolent power.
