The bottom line is that we're promising to pay MORE foreign aid and we're still in the U.N.


Do you skip entire paragraphs that don't adhere to your Bashing agenda??

Let me guess, Bush lost your vote this time, because he didn't singlehandedly remove us from the U.N. at this conference, right??? Yawn.

When he spoke to the delegates on Friday, however, Bush made it clear that U.S. aid would no longer be poured down the U.N. rat-hole as it has been in the past. U.S. aid will be placed into a special "Millennium" account, not simply handed over to the U.N. The U.S., not the U.N., will establish the criteria that must be met by developing nations before receiving U.S. aid.

The Bush administration is clearly changing gears with its U.S. aid. U.S. aid will now be aimed at helping nations build the infrastructure to create wealth, rather than on programs that simply feed global poverty – and enrich those who administer the programs.

Simmer down, I didn't bash Bush, just thinking over the policy. An increase of $5 Billion to the taxpayers and another agency/department will have to be formed to distribute the money. What things would we want our money to help in their countries? What if the democrats get ahold of the dept. some day? Why raise foreign aid soooo much? How will this help our country? Can we dump millions of conservative books on them? lol

Aid to other countries, no matter how "enlightened", should not take precidence over aid to our own who need help.
Apallachia and our inner cities are far more deserving than any foreign country.

The UN, NAFTA, NATO, IMF, WTO, GATT, and those who endorse them need reality therapy.

BTW, your "rant" was just that, sound and fury signifiying nothing but obeisance to the Bush dynasty of a NWO.
