Does it mean that countries that want our aid should become new States in the Union

:) Naaah, Sergey, we'll just let 'em be territories for now :)

No, I'd like to see countries choose between adopting a representative republican form of government, with legislative, judicial, and executive branches, a bill of rights, etc, and not getting any money from the US. I think it'd be interesting.

See your point, Terabitten -:)))) Simply speaking, I want to see good governance rewarded in Africa and elsewhere, but instead the civilized world leadership rewards status-quo.

What's really bothering me right now is that the US and European leaders are listening to these extortions (forgive debt,

Is this forgiven debt owed to the private lenders or to the governments? If the first what does it mean?

[Doctor Stochastic]

A systematic problem with Africa (and other parts of the World) is that many people would rather be boss than be rich.

[sergey1973]

To the governments of course or the taxpayer funded institutions like IMF and World Bank.
