"Pity About Africa..."
variuos websites | 06-0103 | The Heavy Equipment Guy

Posted on 06/01/2003 5:11:38 AM PDT by backhoe

"Why do you keep posting this stuff? Nobody cares about Africa, anyway..."
...the truth is archived here on Free Republic, and I maintain that one
day, when things over there are too awful to be ignored any longer, those who
have eyes to see will read the stories here, and be appalled at the silence.
 
 
...and the "war-veterans", most of whom were too young to serve. Chaos and anarchy reign in Zimbabwe There is no rule of law, only Mugabe's rule...Hyper-inflation, government chaos and a persecuted minority sounds too much like Germany prior to Hitler. Peace marches & organized demonstrations will only give the corrupt regime an identifiable target.

Rhetoric of blame is now a white lie (AFRICA, HEAL THYSELF)
The Daily Telegraph ^ | September 3, 2002 | Tim Butcher
"I remember Africa in the 1960s, everyone was filled with high expectations after independence. Forty years on, Africa is a series of kleptocracies, many worse off than they were under colonial rule. Almost all of the common people in relative worse shape to the rest of the world than they were before independence. Africans after 40 years have no one to blame but their own leadership for their problems. The leaders want to deflect blame to the West. The West's not buying it anymore..."

I still maintain that the AIDS money for Africa was Bush's deal with Colin Powell to keep him on staff through the next election. I have absolutely no evidence to back this up. Your point is well-taken. Bush should have gone to Africa to propagandize for Capitalism, not for redistribution of our wealth, i.e. more socialism. It leads one to think that he is a pragmatic politician, not a principled one.

It may have very well been Powell's baby, but this kind of political pandering coincidently happens to appease those who claim a lack of traditionally "compassion" by the GOP.

Did the Adminstration hope for some voting "trianglation" movement from the respective Gay, Black, and socialist voting blocs by using the $15b as a "calling-card" gesture?

there is no doubt that Mugabe is bad...but the farmers he kicked out didn't own the land. It already belonged to the gov't. Not saying he isn't scum...but that's a pretty big point to leave out.

lots of the farmers have gone over to Mozambique.

amazingly, they are still making enough sugar in Zimbabwe that it is cheap enough for other countries to import
