Re: It could even be said that Mbeki is colonizing Africa on the US' behalf. Colonizing?! Do you mean that Mr Mbeki plans to strew white farmers all over Africa????

Re: As far as AIDS is concerned, I understand that the US spends far more money on "African AIDS" programs in the US than in Africa. This money goes to US drug companies and US bureaucracy in the name of the AIDS epidemic. It is important to adhere to traditions, eh? When the U.S. cooked up the Marshall Plan for the recovery of Europe after WW II it was sold as a gift from the American people to the poor wretched masses of Europe. What it actually was was a transfer of the U.S. taxpayers dollars to U.S. corporations selling goods in Europe at inflated rates. Why should we change a winning strategy for the corporations in the face of a mere pandemic?
