And our own Paul Martin wants to increase our deficit in order to throw more of our money into this pit.
Marcos did this in the Philippines. We gave him billions for bases and didn't give a sh%$ what he did with the money. Now the countries corrupt and poverty rampant. Ripe for revolution.
I was telling my wife yesterday that nothing is going to change as long as these countries are led by corrupt politicians.
The only thing an African guy can keep in his pants is bribe money.
Eternal Africa.
FYI
Africa's problems are never going to be solved by some silly concert. Until its people rise above tribalism and embrace democracy it will remain the most backward of continents.
There is little point in forgiving debts, giving food aid or providing any other support as this only serves to enrich the already rich leaders and does nothing for the truly poor and needy.
Look at Zimbabwe...
and the crazy part is, these BananaDictators have all this stolen money in swiss banks, where it does nothing for them, AND THEY ALL STILL LIVE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SH!THOLES???i mean, please... this shows just how insane these chickenheads really are!!!
if it was me, after a hundred million or so... i'd blow that popstand and live like a REAL King some where in the Civilized World instead of just being some petty dictator abusing his "People" and let somebody else have a chance for awhile... but that's just me.
p.s. the same thing with all the super millionaire international narcotrafficconti that have nothing to look forward to in the end but being murdered by the competition, jail or being shot by DrugPolice.
come on... take the money and RUN!!!
it's GOT to be about the POWER and not just the money.
'Tis long past time for America to get together with England and bring back the British style colonialism. Would be "native population" butchers were simply shot very early in their careers.
Africa was far better off when managed by whites than any black government yet developed.
This sad fact of history is doubtlessly due not to melanin level, but to tribal versus nation state government.
Had American Liberals not destroyed South Africa, installed a known Communist government headed by the necklacing Mendelas, and then insisted that the proven British colonial system never be even discussed - maybe Africa would not be a festering sore on the butt end of the world.
A Kuwaiti diplomat once told me the following joke. This is from memory and may not be as funny as it should be.
Two sons of prominent leaders, one from africa and one from asia, attended school together in the US. They became friends and years latter the one from Asia went to visit the one from Africa.
The one from africa says "I hear you are doing very well"
The asian replies "yes, I am a multimillionaire".
"how did you do that ?" the african asks.
The asian holds up a picture of a new bridge, highway and skyscraper and he says "you see this bridge, highway and skyscraper, I got 5% of that"
The asian asks his classmate, "how are you doing?"
The african answers "Oh I am a multibillionaire"
The asian asks "really, how did you do that ?"
The african points out the window to dirt road winding through a vast undeveloped jungle, and he says "you see that bridge, highway and skyscraper, I got a 100% of that."
Congrats to the NP for their guts in taking on the real issue head-on.
Forgiving African debt will personally benefit the kleptocrats, and do nothing for the rank and file Africans.
The problem is that decolonization failed. No African nation has proven capable of self-governance. The only future for Africa that might work is some kind of custodial relationship, like would be done for a retarded orphan.
But no sane government would want the burden of African colonies.
