How many on this thread remember the Ugly American? It was a novel whose author's name escapes me right now but it pointed out the way things should be done. Send people in with expertise in certain fields that can help the Afghans and others help themselves, without the massive amounts of "wealth distribution" that only makes them dependent on other countries to keep them solvent. They all need to learn how to help themselves. Liberals can't understand, or don't want to, self sufficiency, it is one of their biggest blind spots. They think if the government can't do it then it can't be done!

Anyone with an IQ over 10 knows that free enterprise system is far better than government. Give the Afghans freedom, give them knowledge and we will never have to spend a dime on them again, they will do it themselves. Too bad Americans have forgotten that simple solution to our own problems.

Did Afghanistan ever get out of the fifteenth century?

The reason BO did not mention his plans there is like most liberal plans for wealth redistribution all the real focus is on getting the wealth from the working class stiffs, not giving it away.

Besides, anyone who can blow a half of a Billion dollars on a vacation is not really interested in the needs of the poor, unless of course it can serve him in his need to support his excessive life style.

Ineresting. The link to this thread's Fox News Story does not work. Strange how stories which disfavor Obama seem to just .............."disappear!"

And, even though he declared himself to be a "citizen of the world" during a triumphal visit to Berlin, he again botched the chance to showcase his warm and fuzzy commitment to "promoting the reduction of global poverty, [and] the elimination of extreme global poverty."

But that's not true. Obama did mention it, even making it central to his Berlin speech. He was just vague about the substance of it, as usual.

Just what does Col. North believe Obama meant when he told the "people of the world" that "the walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand"? He told them that this was their moment, this was their time to loot America's wealth.
