I would END african aid. Part 1,2, and 3

Save Darfur?

No, Leave Darfur alone.

Don't send the military. Have you forgotten Somalia, Korea, vietnam, Kosavo, or Iraq?

Military interventionism makes every situation worse.

Don't send money or food, it makes things worse.

Western money enables dictators like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe to gain and hold power without the support of his nation's people. African rulers learn to manipulate foreign governments and obtain an independent source of income, which makes them far richer and more powerful than any of their political rivals. Once comfortably in power, and much to the horror of the western governments that funded them, African dictators find their subjects quite helpless and dependent.

African poverty is rooted in government corruption, corruption that actually is fostered by western aid. We should ask ourselves a simple question: Why is private capital so scarce in Africa? The obvious answer is that many African nations are ruled by terrible men who pursue disastrous economic policies. As a result, American aid simply enriches dictators, distorts economies, and props up bad governments. We could send Africa $1 trillion, and the continent still would remain mired in poverty simply because so many of its nations reject property rights, free markets, and the rule of law.

This process gives African politicians the "power to impoverish." The bottom line is that despite decades of western aid, more Africans than ever are living in extreme poverty. Foreign aid simply doesn't work.

Despite this reality, many Americans still think that more money and more aid will solve the problum. But what about the people who are suffering here at home, whether from hunger, illness, or poverty? Are their lives and well being less important? Where is the constitutional provision allowing American tax dollars to be sent overseas? Well... There isn't one.

If you are going to give them something, may I suggest a plane ticket.

Part 2:

For those who disagree

Lets treat this a little like math.
X = U.S Response y= Africa

y= -2 (Before U.S Action)

X+y(-2)= Y

Action A = -5
Action B = -6
Action C = -1
No Action N = 0 (Capital says it would be positive, but I will put 0)

That means Action A, B, C create a lower outcome. Makeing
N+y= -2 And therefore making it the highest equation.

Now... here is the interesting part. I have reason to believe that N or (No Action) is actually a positive.

My reasoning? Capital and power. Since situation y is post aid. The environment at the time is of weak under funded militants killing starving villagers. Well what do we know about militants? The militant soldiers join militant groups to survive, not because they are born killers. Militants cannot hold power without weapons and money. If you break the supply lines between a militant group and their supplier. They eventually turn on each other for control of what is left. This can happen multiple times and usually ends in destroying the group or giving the local population time to bounce back and resist the weakened militant group.

It makes the math problum N(3)+y=+1

And improvement in Africa!

Part 3:

African Capital.

On the terms of feeding a starving population, many socialists forget that it was Norman Borlaug agricultural researcher and businessman who was credited with saving over a billion people from starvation. Take that Opera. (the foolish, handout giving, socialist)

Socialism became popular in Africa after the 1960s. Imperial powers ruling Africa where all capitalists. Socialism swept the area because Africans saw it as being consistent with their strong tradition of family and community. The new ruling regimes where usually either inept, or completely corrupt. Take Zimbabwe for example. For a while it had high economic growth. Then Mugabe came along and seized all white farms and redistributed them among the black population. This killed off 60% of the wildlife, raised the unemployment to 60%, and created an inflation rate of 66,212.3%.

Now lets look at Diamond mining in Botswana. 1/3 of Botswana's GDP comes from Diamond mining. Botswana was once one of the poorest countries in the world, it is now a "middle income" nation. It currently has the highest economic growth rate in the world. How has this happened? Botswana is a very free market country. There is little government regulation.
