Notice the small Middle Eastern green dot that goes whizzing to the right just as he freezes the display at 1948.

Interesting video.  I'll have to watch it again when I get more free time...at first glance I didn't notice the "green dot" that you mentioned.

Very cool...it shows that no meddling is needed to improve the world wide situation.  In fact I believe "meddling" slows down the sharing of technology and wealth.  The things "president" Obama is talking about intentional wealth redistribution and socialization of industry and economies around the world will flatten out future growth and slow the progress of all people lagging behind.

What I see is, all the countries that were helped by the USA after the second war, are now almost equal to the USA.
