More intelligent moves from that great bastion of peace and harmony, Africa.

Ok. Let them starve, then.

He also emphasized the importance of the 2000 African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) - which provides beneficiary countries in Sub-Saharan Africa with the most liberal access to the US market available to any country or region that lacks a free trade agreement with the United States.

But the US president made it clear that the United States "will not build this new Africa; Africans will."

The education aid will go to training more than 420,000 teachers and provide 250,000 scholarships for girls, he said.

madness that runs rampant in Africa that makes one exclaim, like Kurtz, "the horror, the horror!"

Can the U.S be the POLICE man of the world ?

[scannell]

Well, here is the next example of solicist fiasco that will cause the world to demand the United Nations (i.e. USA) rescue these people from their own ignorance and greed. I wouldn't do it.

how about Britain's doing this one

They will need more of your tax money

A sensible policy by the rulers of Zimbabwe. For years whites have been stealing the food from the ground. By putting an end to this theft, euphemistically called farming by these evil whites, the food in the ground will be available to be shared by all the people of Zimbabwe, and the food shortage problem will be solved. Everyone will live happily ever after.

Look what they face if they resist:

The police department of Zimbabwe will purchase scores of riot-busting vehicles from the "Beit Alfa Trailers" company of Kibbutz Beit Alfa, as part of its preparedness for presidential elections scheduled for April 2002. According to the newspaper Financial Gazette, the Interior Ministry of Zimbabwe asked the country's treasury to transfer $105 million to Beit Alfa as the first installment of the deal. "The vehicles will be equipped with riot-control equipment similar to that used by Israel in the territories, with water canons mounted on top," reported the newspaper. Senior officials of Zimbabwe's Police Department and Interior Ministry visited Israel to inspect the vehicles, which the Israeli Police Department has been using for the past 15 years, and preferred the Beit Alfa bid to others. The management of the Beit Alfa firm declined to comment.

I've noticed that this year many of the farms in the Willamette Valley in Oregon are growing wheat instead of commercial grass seed. I'm guessing that sales to Africa and relief agencies will be brisk for this crop.

F%^& them.

Stupidity like that has to be allowed to die off.

They may be engaging in ethnic cleansing, mass murder and all manner of atrocities, starving themselves to death, destroying their economy and turning their country into a wasteland, but at least they won't be pushed around anymore by those damned white colonialists anymore.

Ah, the sweet, pestilent joys of aboriginal freedom!

It makes no sense to send food to Zimbabwe to feed the starving WHILE that government forbids its farmers to even grow food!

[LarryLied]

Something is wrong with this picture. Israel sells armored vehicles to prop up Mugabe, puts a couple hundred million bucks in the bank and then Americans are asked to help out those Mugabe terrorizes

[WaterDragon]

What's wrong with the picture is that American farmers, already heavily subsidized, are going to make out like bandits in sales to world organizations that will feed the starving Zimbabweans.
