Generally, a country (or the United Nations as a whole) is expected to NOT be involved in another country's domestic affairs (keep out of my country and I'll do the same). I believe that this rule was set after World War II but I'm not sure.

Is this a good rule? To a degree, I think so because other countries don't impede on another's right to self rule. While America is evident in many countries, it doesn't take a direct reign. In fact, America has had a long history of isolation.

However, in instances such as Africa (where many countries are ravaged by disease, famine, and warloads) and India (where AIDS is growing), I think it's the duty as fellow humans to help them.

I'm aware that countries do help places in Africa and India. However, a majority of these efforts are voluntary and based completely on donations. When it comes to warloads, the response is sort of...lacking.
