Is that where the phrase 'pound sand' came from?

there was an article in the citizen last summer about shooting each others blood in a local paper in Dar es Salaam last summer.
any culture that can come up with the idea of a humanoid, man raping bat creature must be getting high.
look for Popo bawa on the web it is hilarious but people in Zanzibar actually believe in it and you cannot get them to talk about it in public.

IIRC, HIV/AIDS in Africa is not merely a "liberal" issue <<LINK1>>, <<LINK2>>.

Somebody who actually gets it.

Future historians will also note what today's pundits ignore: total US government development aid to Africa quadrupled from $1.3 billion in 2001 to more than $5 billion in 2008. What's more, the Bush administration doubled foreign aid worldwide over the past eight years. You have to go back to the Truman years to match that.

All of which was borrowed money. All of which will have to be paid back or inflated away. All of which adds to the total debt load of the country.

Sounds like a certain nation is desperately addicted to spending.

If Bush hadn't spent the money, the Bush-haters would bitch about that. Doesn't matter what he did-to liberals it's wrong.

You wanna talk about spending money? The current administration can't print the shit fast enough to spend it.

I think Mr. Fwank gets injections of a more personal nature.

Absolutely true.

Here's a link that illustrates your point nicely. LINK

I am surprised that people are surprised addicts will do anything to feed their addiction(s)...whatever they may be. Amazing.

Or wise enough to balance its ideas with its strategic interests.

Should we let people die? What is the answer? I am not sure, but I know spending borrowed money on a foreign nation that does not learn its lesson and change its way of doing business is NOT the Answer. Politicans and well meaning people will not turn down video's of starving children. Perhaps this gentlemn has the answer.

By this logic, the US should not have backed the reconstruction of Europe after the Second World War.

True. In essence, we funded the competition. Likewise with Japan. Ask GM shareholders how that worked out.

While you make a good point about balancing ideas with strategic interests, I note that China seems to do a pretty good job of advancing their interests at minimal cost.

Until we get our own house in order, maybe we should reconsider giving money away.
