Yeah, but a whole heck of a lot more than you donating your 10$ weekly allowance.

Why don't you go watch a documentary like The Century of Self, from the BBC. <a class="user" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8953172273825999151">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8953172273825999151</a>

@ xGORDOxBulls**t, the economy is light years ahead for the top few percent. If you're talking about the economy for everyone Clinton did way better.@ rest of y'allI hate to be a money thrower, but couldn't you say that the Marshall Plan worked simply through throwing money at the problem? The Africa problem definitely needs diplomacy and intelligent money throwing, but, looking at countries like China and Russia which were subject to violent, brutal regimes, it seems that the solution to political and social disruptions is economic growth and economic growth ultimately requires $$$$$

Ajrahim- 1 American= 1 African= 1 Anyone. If you think a person is better, or "worth more" than someone else in another country, I honestly hope you rethink it. College is important, but people here in America live prosporous lives anyway, and a few billion to a country on the brink of destruction is more than worth it. People are people, and if it where you in the Darfur region of Sudan, you'd certainly think differently about the billions of dollars, that add a minor inconveinance to your college fund.I hope to god you are either very young, or sheltered, because if this truly comes from a high-school graduate, I'm dissappointed. I'm not playing politics when it comes to this; no one should. People are dying, and whatever we can do helps. It's bad enough the United Nations (Useless) won't step in on the problem, but this is the most miniscule thing we could have done. I'm a big-time conservative, and the only thing I can call President Bush on with enthusiasm is his inability to step up to the African Crisis, but I am thankful that he at least does more than these Nations all across Europe, who will stand against violence in Iraq, and protest the United States, but could care less about the innocents being slaughtered in North Africa. This is just ridiculous...

The reason the leftist media revile him so IS because he tried to save the lives of people they think need to be culled from the 'herd', so to speak...while UNFPA and WHO and others are working their darndest to cull the African Black from the planet, Bush was trying to save them.God bless him.Blackgenocide.org
