Read the comment I just posted and the one above it by FlyVet. I'm not against helping people when it actually helps the people.

I didn't see the article, but I remember (I think it was) John Stossel of ABC who interviewed a couple of African journalists. They asked him, concerning all this aid to Africa, something like "Why do you do this to us? You do nothing but make our dictators stronger, who then torment our people all the more, because you give them the power to do so!"

I admired their guts greatly. I wonder if they are still alive.

It appears nobody is listening to them. I'm afraid the weakness of our pols is going to be the end of us. Mark Steyn's latest column "What we Need in New Year is Some Resolution" was truthful and very depressing. Weak, stupid, corrupt, feckless.
