From the above analysis (and comments) all seem to be in (some sort of) agreement of the PROBLEM, which is food distribution systems, economic systems, political systems, gambling systems (I mean, what’s that really smart word that everyone uses, yes, that’s right, “speculation”) on Wall Street.

So the PROBLEM is obvious by those who bother to dig (and those who are causing the problem). But the SOLUTION seems to be out of our reach. From the above analysis, the solution is easy – just remove the systems that are causing the problem – political, economic, financial etc. Now the question is……who will do the removing?

For JA and DF, the reason that many African governments are in a pickle is because when the imperialist pigs left, they left those countries with no infra-structure. In Congo, they even pulled the telephones and wiring out of the walls of the buildings!!! Then those same imperialists paid off government officials in return for mining rights etc. For many in Africa, their boat-loads of natural resources would be best left in the ground so they could have some land to grow food on!!! JA and DF, do either of you have a soul?

I was tickled, though, by the very American idea that the inability to make phone calls or watch television were indicators of starvation. Through the night with the light from a bulb, so to speak!

You’ll have to find me too. The truth is the truth, and your primitive violence might knock me down, but it won’t remove the truth.

Suggesting, as you clearly do, that the Mugabe government is better for the people of Zimbabwe just because it’s black, than the previous Smith government just because it was white is not only ridiculous, it’s just about as racist as you can get.

Do you have a better explanation?

We once went to Rhodesia to see the ruins of Zimbabwe.
Now we go to Zimbabwe to see the ruins of Rhodesia.

Rhodesia used to feed Africa. Now they can’t feed themselves.
Uganda used to be a paradise it’s a mud hole now, the same way with most of the other Sub Saharan Africa.

I am sorry I could not disagree more. Peace comes from not having enemies.
Security comes from having enemies who fear you.
A very great Italian Gentleman once wrote that for a prince it is always more preferable to be feared than loved. You cannot buy love or friendship.

Those unlucky enough to be born in the third world need to solve their own problems. They all seemed to be doing well enough in my Grandfathers day when Britain and France owned Sub Saharan Africa, it’s only after the benefits of independence came to the bloody bastards that it all went to hell.

I’d gladly pay more taxes if the money went to feed people instead of blowing them up. There would b a whole lot less angry brown people if we gave them food and water.

Even if you’re evil and hell bent on taking over foriegn lands, it would cost less to keep up our imperalism if we made people in these lands dependant on our food. People have caught on that when we say we will ‘bring democracy’ to a country, we really mean we’re going to bring our leadership and troops over. Why not change the game and bring in influence through food/crops? You can’t make a race of people pro-american at the barrel of a gun, but you can at the dinner table. Then cash in that influence and good will on whatever horrible thing you had planned in the first place.

Or we could just feed these people and let them get on their feet, because it’s the right thing to do, but I’m way to pessimistic to think that our government wants any of these people off their knees.
