Undoubtedly.
3rd world countries are used as effective slave labor for Western corporations. In the process of paying pennies for manual labor, tyrannical gov'ts are propped up to provide more favorable trade regulations.
As a result, Western corporations can offer a gallon of pickles for $3 and glow-in-the-dark toothbrushes. They spend pennies producing it off the labor of someone who can still barely afford to feed their family (let alone receive healthcare, vacation and other benefits) and make millions in profit back home in the States.
That's the "generosity and compassion" you were speaking of.
