And I agree with all the conservatives listed in the above article, and Wesley Pruden, George Will, and Cal Thomas. I can add Thomas Sowell, though he didn't name Bush, who came out against all foreign aid and third world debt "forgiven" etc. These are the people I've always agreed with. My postions haven't changed. Some of Bush's positions have changed.

Anyway, I've learned some valuable lessons this week. It hasn't been a lot of fun but it has been valuable.

Let me say that I fully agree with them, and you, on so-called "foreign aid," which is little more than bribery.

Bush has at least had the honesty to tell these people they were not getting "loans" anymore, but "grants,"---but only if they met certain conditions (which none of them will meet.) At that point, we'll see if he intends to hold them accountable.

However, are you going to say that all foreign aid is wrong? I think that the money we gave to France and Greece and Turkey and Italy from 1947-1949 basically saved Europe from internal communist revolutions at the polls.
