Two problems on the fly.. the opening paragraph makes it sound as thought it was America alone that "traded" in slaves....NNNNGGHHHT!!! Wrong answer.( Shift the blame, Quick! they're not looking!!) The European powers were the ones with the corner on that market. Even "importing" them into the Americas. Secondly...." Imperialist taint", sounds like a COMMUNIST mantra used against the worlds democracies. "Funny" those words were used. Would'nt you all agree?

Let's assume that this trip is to secure votes from the Afro-American community in this country. Does it sound logical that they will be more receptive by investing in Africa than here in the US? Will the $15 billion investment in Africa Aids do more good there than here? This doesn't make political sense plus it sure is spoiling Bush's image as a political conservative interested in conserving the taxpayers money. Some of this stuff is getting past ridiculous and becoming silly.
