Children are the issue.We can`t just do nothing.
Plumpynut is the answer.Cheap,premade,and it keeps well.
Your right about corruption, in the third world,though.
Owner, don't you mean they can't just do nothing?
(We) have done far more than we should have.
The only thing we're doing is emplanting a welfare mentality on an international scale. When does it end?
Will they be self reliant 10 years from now?
I met a woman whose father I knew from an Irish organisation in N.H. who worked for the "U.N." but quit.
She was a teacher in an African country and it was her job to teach other teachers there to become teachers, a teaching instructor.
She said she ended up doing all the work and they wouldn't lift a finger.
She told them that she was there to show them how to do it, not to do it "for" them but they just couldn't grasp that concept and she ended up getting into an argument with her supervisor and quit.
Evidently they couldn't understand the parable of ,"teach a man to fish."
So, instead of being an instructor of teachers she ended up being a teacher herself, not part of the "job description."
There has to be time limits on this stuff!
We shouldn't be doing this kind of thing for 40-50 years!
If foreign aid actually worked the amount we give every year should be going down not up!
Zensee, you're half right.
It was the Europeans who had the "colonies" in Africa not the U.S.
I still don't know why we had embasseys in Kenya that were bombed by al qeada!
I mean for what possible purpose?
The more I read about Ron Paul and his non-intervention philosophy the more sense it makes!
We are told be the left that, "the world hates the U.S."
But, they still want us to give money to countries who hate us!
Does (that) make sense to anyone?
