| #7 Unless/Until we can colonize and annex it, all the money in the world won't fix Africa. Let 'em starve until they're ready to do things our way. |

| #6 "On the part of the United States, it's often the bureaucracy and the fine print sometimes putting conditions which makes it impossible or very difficult for us to access what is otherwise available to us," Mogae said. Like "Don't steal all of it?" Yeah, I'm optimistic. Where's the pic of the toilet? |

| #4 the debt forgiveness package IS tied to reforms, both economic and institutional. On the model of Pres. Bush's Millenium Challenge. I presume this aid is as well. |

| #3 Aid should be tied economic and political reform. In every case that the International community has let the Africans be Africans it resulted in poverty and starvation. Yes send aid but also send reform otherwise it is just a waste of money. |

| #2 President Bush can say all he wants, but Congress appropriates the money. Of course, they will control the purse strings if they are not invertibrate. More aid to Africa without some changes in the way they do business with go the same way as African loans---right down a rat hole. Good money after bad. |
