To hell with them. They've made their own beds now let them lie in them.

[Born in a Rage]

But U.S. officials said they already are responding, even in Zimbabwe, despite their unhappiness with Mugabe.

This makes me sick. It's our money -- it should go to our people, not some third world AIDS ridden, uncivilized, prejudiced country. Let 'em starve...maybe they will stop all of their BS and learn to get food on their own.

[Squawk 8888]

Here we go again. It ain't drought that's starving them, it's their leaders who are trashing the economy. It's hardly a coincidence that the crisis is centred in Mugabe's fiefdom.

[blackdog]

So what good would money do in a continent that has no food? Why not send food instead of money. Keep the cash in plain sight. African nations have no interest whatsoever in feeding their peasantry.Common People are a commodity they gladly piss away. The current Marxist goal is to walk that fine line that keeps aide flowing(cash)and to cull the herd, while appearing to be concerned internationally.

In Africa people are an expense, not an asset. One does not insure an expense.

[Destructor]

So begins the endless cycle to artifically sustaining an ignorant African population that is incapable of supporting itself. I'm so looking forward to the drain of badly needed funds from our country just to satisfy the "humanitarian" lust of the bleeding heart Liberals. Watch them repay our kindness by denouncing us, and voting against us in the U.N. general assembly! Another misuse of Tax dollars!!

Maybe they can call it the "Free Sandwiches for Murderous Dictators" program.

I expected no less from Bush.

[Billy_bob_bob]

It is OUTRAGEOUS that ANY elected official is considering sending ONE PENNY of OUR TAX DOLLARS to aid these MURDEROUS ROBBING RAPING BASTARDS! They have "ethnically cleansed" all of the "evil white farmers" from their land, and now they will harvest starvation, misery and sorrow. Let them starve, let them suffer, let them die. I won't shed a tear. Any elected official who proposes sending MY TAX DOLLARS to help these EVIL THUGS is a TRAITOR!

[JMS]

The obvious solution is the re-colonization of Africa. Depose the dictators!

[Kobyashi1942]

WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials are scrambling to cope with what could become the worst humanitarian crisis since President Bush took office: a potentially catastrophic famine in drought-stricken southern Africa that threatens 5 million people with starvation. ''What's unfolding in southern Africa is very big,'' Roger Winter, the assistant administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development's humanitarian assistance bureau, said in an interview Tuesday.

''Even though we don't have in hand all the information we need, we have in hand enough to know that we have to respond big-time,'' Winter said.

Ofcourse the Bush Administration is foolishly going to pour Billions of OUR tax dollars into the bottomless pit of Africa. Until Africa abandons its anti-white pro-communist policies the suffering will be never ending.

[texlok]

Call me an isolationist, but I'd rather see my money go towards a homeless guy in my city, rather than to some country thousands of miles away that will end up hating us at some point.

[gilor]

These so called 'Aid Agencies' have nothing to benifit by people having enough food to eat. They DO have alot to gain by famine. I wonder if they had anything to do with those white farms being seized?

[Tijeras_Slim]

I'm furious.

[dougherty]

I don't want any of my tax money going to these thugs. They've created this mess, let them deal with it. I'm sick and tired of our 'leaders' wanting to bail the whole damn world out with our money whenever a corrupt, third world government can't handle their own affairs. This is their creation, let them swim or sink. Especially the racist, murderous government of Zimbabwe. To hell with them, let them eat cake.

[jimt]

...where relief efforts are centering on food shortages caused by a severe drought disgustingly racist and blatantly dictatorial government in six countries: Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Can't speak for the other countries, but Mugabe's policies are the problem in Zimbabwe. May he achieve the same fate as Mussolini.
