Overpopulation isn't population density on its own, overpopulation is a state in which the land cannot provide the resources necessary to maintain the amount of life currently inhabating it.

The US has a lot more resources per square kilometre than any African country, therefore, it can sustain a lot more life per square kilometre, meaning that a greater population density in the US has less impact than one in the before mentioned African nation.

A good example of this is China and the UK. The UK has roughly 100 more people per square kilometre than PR China, however the UK has the resources to maintain life, moreso than PR China. When was the last time you heard of the UK government restricting births to one per couple?

 

Well we can get into that if you'd like.  I actually just read that the United States alone can feed the Earth 5 times over considering the amount of arable land in this nation alone, but the Feds are still paying farmers NOT to till the land.  Russia for instance, although it doesn't take advantage of it, has nearly twice the arable land of the United States.  And Europe has some of the most furtile soils in the world as well... nearly equal in size to the U.S.

And land that is considered "unfarmable" is also a big myth.  The brilliant Israelis have been proving that for 60 years.

When the first Jews re-settled there, they literally turned a 100% desert nation into a fertile nation capable of self-sustainment.

And land can be made fertile with the proper irrigation and rotation techniques.  We are not cavemen.

The problem with Africa and SE Asia is that they are too busy oppressing themselves to change.  They are their own worst enemies.  They are more concerned with tribal warfare and ancient hatreds than sustaining themselves.  World poverty & hunger will be destroyed when the poor bastards in 3rd world countries say that enough is enough and stand up and fight for freedom.  And the rest of the free world should march behind them and support this.
