Why should we spend a trillion dollars to help the Western Africans to create their own "cartel" and have them soak us "legally" for the next 100 years?

You're joking; right?

Mbeki said he did not expect resistance to the idea to fund the recovery of Africa

Recovery from what? 80 years of inter-tribal wars?
Recovery to what? The stone age?

- Only Chirac can come up with such a stupid plan.

To be totally fair, we have at least a dozen domestic idiot politicians I can think of right off the bat who can do as badly; or worse. Parasites, who set their own wages, and are taxpayers in name only.

give me the target (funding), but leave to me the matter of what method I will use to produce this outcome

With the track record in Africa, this sounds like a perfect idea.
