Getting Smarter?

First he begged you for money, then he sent it to the most corrupt people on Earth. Then he begged you for more money. Now he says no matter how much money is sent, unless the corruption is fixed, it won't matter. Irish rocker, Bob Geldof is finally getting smarter. He says, "The rich world can pour endless billions into the continent of Africa but none of this will work unless African governments are serious."

No kidding, Bob? That's what we've been trying to tell you. The same is true for all the billions you and your friend with one name, Bono, have shamed governments into pouring onto the continent. You were the agents of corruption. They were corrupt and weak but you caused billions of dollars to flow to them. Without those billions, the corruption wouldn't have made much difference and certainly would not have become even more entrenched. But all that money created spheres of extremely wealthy power. Now the corruption is too firmly rooted to ever be removed. That makes what you did worse than doing nothing.

Yesterday you reported that the founder of Green Peace was advocating Nuclear Power, Today it is Bob Geldof telling the world that African Governments must reform for monitary aid to work..

I can not wait until tomorrow... Who knows maybe Alec Baldwin will do a political fundraiser for President Bush and the RNC.

I'm extremely saddened to tell you this Darrell but Alec Baldwin is busy. See my post this evening.

I wonder if Bob Geldof will advocate for "regime change" in these african countries, so that foreign aid programs will work.

Kinda like Saddam Hussein and the "oil for food" program.
