Are you suggesting that the people starving to death in the sun, still arent willing to help themselves??? Or are you saying that because the government is corrupt and refuses to help its people, that we should stand back and watch these people die on CNN(or maybe u prefer Fox News)? Either way i think your wrong.

I dont think the military option is the right one, but i think whatever we can do, we should do. This includes forgiving debt that will never be paid off, seeing as these countries economies will never rise otherwise. Our officials are corrupt, they see Africa as a cash cow, that they can milk for years without the well running dry.
