I'll absolutely agree that it is western consumers that are to blame for these people living in poverty. For every dollar we save on tube socks is another child that will go hungry tonight.

As for the workers in these countries need to stand up for their rights, we all know what happens to anyone that tries to organize a union. How about the Phillipines where Bush is pumping millions into their military... and in the last 5 years they have executed 64 union leaders on the basis that "union leaders terrorize factory owners".
