The following are excerpts from a March 23, 2002 Washington Times piece by Bill Sammon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"MONTERREY, Mexico: ----- ------- yesterday said Americans are duty-bound to 'share our wealth' with poor nations and promised a 50 percent increase in foreign aid, but 'We should give more of our aid in the form of grants, rather than loans that can never be repaid,' he said. 'We should invest in better health and build on our efforts to fight AIDS, which threatens to undermine whole societies.'

"In addition to the moral, economic and strategic imperatives of increasing foreign aid, ----- ------- said, it could also help in the war against terrorism.

"'We will challenge the poverty and hopelessness and lack of education and failed governments that too often allow conditions that terrorists can seize and try to turn to their advantage.'"

Here's a small political quiz. Who is quoted above?

a) George McGovern
b) Bill Clinton
c) Al Gore
d) Al Sharpton
e) Jesse Jackson
f ) Ted Kennedy
g) George W. Bush

Hint: He's very popular here at Free Republic.

Hey Mort. Those words seem about right to me. Unless you can make the case that a poor world will keep us secure, free and prosperous. I don't think that you can. Show me.
