"but I think "hands off" is wrong."

I gave an example of our misguided attempts on another thread, but I'll briefly describe it:

There were several hundred tons of grain stored in an outdoor soccer field in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania which had been donated by the US to feed the poor.
When soccer season came around the local government decided they needed to clean off the soccer field.
A British entrepreneur turn-keyed the clean-up for the grain.
He cleaned off the grain on top that was sprouting, hauled it into some warehouses and later sold it back to the Tanzanian government who then sold it to the people because, after all, they had bought it so they could no longer give it away.
This is how they confuse the trail so that free grain winds up a big profit item for the local bureaucrats.

I can only imagine the manipulation which will go into effect once that 15 billion dollars is accessible.

The whole crux of the situation is that the population needs to be thinned so that the surviving members can have a better life style.
Nature is doing that the same way that any runaway population of animals is thinned - a disease comes along that wipes out part of them.
I know it's absolutely horrible to approve of the way nature is taking care of the problem in Africa, but the fact is that it is the only solution.

In the meantime, the bureaucrats plead for money so they can escape Africa and go live in the UK or the US.
They couldn't care less about their fellow Africans!

If an American citizen refused to pay the tax, (the tax you advocate raising, to squander in another part of the world that has always, and will always, hate us) his home would be stormed by JBT's. If he resisted, he would be killed.

You would kill Americans, to send the loot you ordered stolen from them, to people far off, whom you do not know.

Don't tell me to switch to decaf. Why don't you go to Socialist Underground, or wherever the hatred for liberty burns brightest?

The message from Bush is that veterans of this nation simnply don't matter! The disabloed retired military have their retired pay taken away if the receive VA complensation for service connected diability and that has been stonewalled in congress for 18 years!

Bush took a stand against veterans when he threatened veto of the Defenze Approrpiations and Authorization bills if congeess remedied that shameful action...and now, when congress can easily fund this (the money is already in the Military Retirement Fund or MTF) they refuse to bring a bill to the floor for a vote (HR 303)!

Tell congress Africa's AIDs problem can damn well take a back seat to addressing our veterans! This is a national disgrace!
