Because they still owe money to foreign countries (200 billion dollars) and when Colonial Imperialism collapsed after WW2 the borders were all redrawn. Another good example is the Middle East. (The Ottomon Empire fell and for some reason they divided the Kurds in present day Iraq and Turkey.) Enemies were living side by side, and contiguous political groups were divided. Not to mention the cold war had some effect; when a country had a successful military coup, they felt the need to ally with either USSR or the Allies.

The same thing can be said to cultures today presently in North America and Europe. Remember the French riots recently? Invite people to the country, give them a temporary citizenship which could be taken away at anytime, and stick them in ghettos. The same thing happened to African Americans and Aboriginals. They were segregated and thrown into a separate, poor world which they had no say in and could not control, and today they're being told they're on their own. Meanwhile, no one has the education to fix this as a result of that.

Ellen is just as screwed up as Britney Spears. What's even more scary is that this adoption place is getting threatening emails from a bunch of losers with no life. She signed a contract, she should have read it, and boo friggan hoo if her hairdresser can't get that dog. It's not like the hairdresser was attached to it. Ellen should just give up on life. More important things to worry about.
