A U.S. commitment to providing $674 million for famine relief in Africa may take some bite out of the Left's constant attacks on the Bush Administration. It is always a cry of what have you done for the poor in the world (although they don't count the poor that have been liberated). Now this massive out pouring of famine relief will answer their cries. President Bush joins Britain's Tony Blair, chairman of the G8, in this commitment. The joint initiative for famine relief comes in response to a Blair proposal for doubling aid to Africa. The amount of Britain's contribution to the new program was not disclosed, but it was said to be less than that of the United States.
Hey! That's my tax money! ...don't I get a say?
Unless the numerous Tyrannical regimes in Africa are ended, the situation will continue to deteriorate, no matter how much money is thrown at the problem...
FREEDOM brings prosperity.
Hemmoraging money through the southern border, stealing from taxpayers for the rights of illegals, and still the WH can't give it away fast enough...nor does he force others to fullfill their promises to rebuild Iraq. We need a new party to emerge from disaster.
