What we all have to realize with this statement is that not all countries want the sort of democracy that the US may have. Many countries have different ideals, ways of living ect... a big problem with the US at times I feel, is that we (yes I am from the US) think our values are the only values and that is arogant. I recently read a book about a guy who traveled all over Africa. He went from Egypt to South Africa, useing the same roads and services that typical Africans would use. He made a few statments like those above. One statment I remember was that "much of the AID currently given, isn't given to development but just for sustainment" Meaning, that instead of givng people seeds to plant they just give them food to eat. I think redirecting all AID isn't a good idea, because many countries are useing that money in a correct way. What I do think tho, is that there should be more oversight. More thought into what money is sent where. Vicks
