Crappy government is the reason for the world's poor.
Is everybody stupid over there?

Britain blames US for failing world's poor

So now the US is supposed to take care of the WORLD'S poor?
What a bunch of tripe.

If every other country wants the US to take care of the world's poor - Give the US the world.

Britain blames US for failing world's poor

Who told the Brits that it was our job, anyway?

[A_perfect_lady]

Let's ask the Irish what they think of Britain's treatment of the poor, shall we? Do I hear a Modest Proposal?

Too bad Gary Montana's posting of this article has been "locked" by one of our moderators.

His comments were excellent where you, Pokey, added nothing.

What are your views of this latest stupidity on the part of our "ally" the Socialist UK?

...host president Thabo Mbeki of South Africa said it was time to scrap a world order based on the "savage principle of the survival of the fittest."

Another believer in "intelligent design".
Sorry, couldn't resist.

When the United States is no longer a superpower, and no longer has the millions to shell out to these people, who will they then turn to whine to fix their self-imposed problems?

Just wondering.....

Every crime-ridden city should - like Johannesburg - have a Police chief named Happy Shutter.

Or Harry "Snapper" Organs.

Britain? Do you mean the new headquarters for the Islamic Jihad movement? Do you mean the country of 500 mosques? Do you mean the country who abandoned their christian heritage for moral relativism and sold off their churches to muslim immigrants? Who cares what these apostates think. Surely not I.

Very good point! As I recall the Brits did'nt give a damn until it the time came to stave off Hitler.

It's time America said enough. We've been lining the dictators' pockets for years. If we want to really help, go through the different missionaries and mission organizations in Africa and other Third World countries. They know what's needed and they would get the job done. I never trust anyone's government to do the right thing (even our own). I love the Youth with a Mission and Mercy Ships.

[Marysecretary]

Yep, I think you're right. They hate us because we're successful. They could be too if they'd get rid of their dictators and stop killing all the whites who want to help.

[Marysecretary]

That's right and they just wasted it. Not our fault.

You are so right. These Socialists in Europe just can't cope with the success of the US. That's why they blamed us for the tragedy of 9/11, saying we brought it upon ourselves. But we don't need the Europeans anymore, and that's what really makes them crazy. I feel sorry for that guy Tony Blair, who stands alone against the liberal hordes.

[dalereed]

Blair is a left wing nightmare, if the cabinet got it's way it wouldn't be a nightmare, it would be a cemetary in ruin!

Being that Europes population is on the decline the tax base will fall down too, so these thirdworld people won;t be able to squeeze any money out of them very soon.

I suspect NY is going to be in for some violent demonstrations when our beloved President addresses the UN opening ceremonies come September. If only we could convince the UN to depart the US for someplace nice such as Haiti or Zimbabwe.

The truth of the matter is this: The world
is envious re the US and its ability to plow
ahead, pushing the envelope of science and technology,
and thus capitalism, so much so that it seeks
to burden the US w/ addtl payments or constraints
placed on its econ engines.

You know the song: To each according to his need,
from each according to his ability.

GET THE US OUT OF THE UN
GET THE UN OUT OF THE US
