it's worse than that, DR. they come from cultures where the purpose of government is to determine which tribes are allowed to rape and plunder the others. every time you give them something, they see it as weakness, as capitulation, as an admission that they have the power and you do not. why else would you give them things? they see it as a sign that you are weak and they are strong and that you fear them. of course they demand more. why wouldn't they? the failure of the west to understand that this is the standard view of most of the world and that the west is a tiny bubble of high-trust exceptionalism is what feeds this. "if we're just nice to them, they'll learn to be like us!" no. they think we are stupid and soft. they have zero interest in being like us. they just want to take what we have.
