Bush Feeds Africa, Helps with AIDS

Bush Feeds Africa, Helps With AIDS

This from the Gaurdian, Bush is helping Africa in ways other presidents never did.

Lord Alli, the aid activist who is accompanying Geldof on the trip organised by the UN children's aid agency Unicef, echoed his praise of the Bush administration.

"Clinton talked the talk and did diddly squat, whereas Bush doesn't talk, but does deliver," Lord Alli said.

In that same article, Rick Rowden, USA policy officer for ActionAid, "expressed surprise at Geldof's comments. 'Bush's increased aid comes with harmful loan conditions, . . .'"

IOW, The Bush administration is actively doing something to help feed the people of Africa and to curb HIV infection there . . . but it is insisting that these countries be responsible and not just accept the money without any requirement to change the situation for the future. There are stirings attached to help ensure that the future is brighter. The goody goodies at ActionAid would prefer to see the money and support sent with no restrictions or insurances of any kind.
