Well, I think like most idealistic people, she believed the people she met there. She has spent alot of time there, and apparently has fallen in love with the country. She's bought land there. I think there's alot of naivity when you're getting involved with these countries. But it sounds like she's learning, the hard way, that there is a reason these Countries continue to keep their people poor...and if she brings that to light to the libs who will listen to her, than she'll be doing a good thing for the world.

I am just saying that ANYONE who gives to ANY charity ANYWHERE is plum dumb if they don't check it out first...especially if the 'giver' is a celebrity and a target for people with their hand out.
