Lifting humanity out of poverty is one of the greatest moral challenges of the 21st century.

And who gets the bill for this lofty venture?

I think Bush has the right approach here - aid given only to those countries that reform and embrase democracy and free market economies. Whereas the rest of the world does not demand reform, only more money from the West. Foregin aid will never cease to exist, so at least Bush is making sure there are strings attached to it.
