  1. The problem is greed and corruption. The average citizen in the west is moderately compassionate, but when from the most senior leaders downwards in these other nations, there is tyranny and a contempt for the value of human life, and there are maniacs like ISIS  threatening massive and immediate death, and politicians and pundits are starting to ask whether they we be intervening in foreign affairs at all, these people's lives seem like a pretty low priority. The latter part of last century will be viewed by the future as the high point of a golden age before the globe sank into a long, dark pit of oppression and violence, much of it perpetrated against us by our own governments under the guise of "security". If there was anything that the west could really do to help, it's to stop allowing our manufacturers to operate in, and exploit workers in countries that have contempt for human life. But we won't because people like to be able to buy a bucket of coke for 50 cents, so what is a child's life compared to that kind of bargain?
