You know what sucks?
Lots of this poverty is in places that have no lack of natural resources.
The place they used to call Zaire (when it was run by that clown wearing the leopard skin) has one of the few first class deposits of cobalt in the world. They have copper, too - lots.
Nigeria is a major world oil producer. It used to be run by this guy, "General" Sani Abacha (sp?) until he died suddenly, in what I sincerely hope was great agony. He was a brutal thug.
Both of these places are full of deperately poor people. Nothing has really changed...they've now got different sets of brutal thugs.
Yes, I know...both US puppets, backed by my government...their governments run, for all practical purposes by multinational corporations who create the laws with their bribes.
I can only hope that when the Demos take over about 18 months from now, they'll start enforcing the fucking law...US based companies bribing foreign officials is illegal under US law.
All my fellow Americans reading this: WRITE YOUR REP IN CONGRESS.
