how about that 75 billion for 3 months in Iraq? Gosh that would have done some good for those "US poor, downtrodden, underclothed". The 15 billion for Africa over 5 years(which Bush said he would ask for) isn't there yet, and I doubt it's going to get there, and it isn't going to stop the murderers in Africa- and you seemed to be very concerned about murders in Iraq. There are many many more in Africa. aegis.com "What about the 50 BILLION to Africa for AIDS? Or are you simply talking of the Congo.... Please show me all the aid of any kind that is going to the Congo alone from the US this year, last year, and the following year. " 50 billion per year is NEEDED in Africa to fight AIDS-( you were looking at the links too fast, and you read it wrong), according to estimates- were you under some bizarre impression they were getting that? They're not. ......................... msf.org
