(2) Our European "friends" would expect the USA to foot the bill but hire their "experts".

This is why the Bush admin is busily reforming economic aid distribution, channeling much of it through government/industry partnerships. The uber-idea is for aid to use and synergize with (and as developing countries prosper, to be replaced by) normal channels of capital flow as much as possible. This will tend to keep the money out of the hands of the global poverty pimps. It will also render programs more effective, to the point where they might actually solve problems rather than perpetuate them. The poverty pimps HATE this whole scheme (part of the reason why Powell was shouted down at the WSSD as he highlighted such programs).
