Not one more cent should be sent to that economic aid sinkhole
known as "Africa"...hundreds of billions have been poured into
Africa in the past 45 years, and conditions there have only
gotten worse...even *more* money is not going to solve any
problems.


Unfortunate but true. Funds to Africa have had limited impact, and
those funds from government sources, with the required bureaucratic red
tape, have made it into the bank accounts of various despots. Recall
that the Iraq 'Food for Oil' UN program was corrupt in its management
and also generally worthless in doing what the program said would be
accomplished.


Simply let Africa sink or swim on it's own, e.g. let it "Darwinize"
itself...


Funding needs to be better channeled. With the realization that you
are not going to reach those requiring assistance when the funds are
all distributed to the top of the food chain.
