Gee, that's a tuff one. Just where have our priorities gone? Maybe they're with Iraq's WMDs. :chuckles:
They can't eat if we can't get it there in 4.8 seconds!! :eek3:

Personally... I don't think Ethiopia is our problem. It's our money and if the people who's hands it is in want to have a jet that goes MACH10 then they will get a jet that goes MACH10.

And that's why our priorities have left us. You may not agree, and I respect that.

Bringing East Africa from the state they're in now to a better one is feasible. Why wouldn't it be? But you are correct, there's not enough support to aid in accomplishing that.

When did removing a man from power who killed or would have killed far less people than East African disease and starvation become a bigger priority for an entity that has such quantitive and qualitive resources?

I just believe we should look to helping our fellow man, here and now, before expanding into areas that aren't as currently helpful in saving lives.
