When you buy stocks you are not saying I believe in corporate America because corporate America invests in emerging markets. When you buy bonds you are saying that you do not care if your money grows or if the government erodes your moneys value. Kind of like an ostrich putting his head in the sand.
The best thing you can do for your country is to invest in China, Brazil, India or wherever and spend your profits here. A strong country is made up of strong investors. We can sell our bonds overseas.It is true that people invest more to feel good about there investments than to just make there money grow.
But really think about what you are doing. But your funds where they will be of use to the people who need it most, no matter where they live. You can always spend your profits here.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
