Right. I figure you would be against any kind of Western cultural influence being attached to contributions. We should just hand over money no strings attached so that they could get back to business as usual. Wouldn't want to taint them with our western ideals or anything. Specially if it was those nasty religious folks poking their noses in again... SEX SLAVERY "One large-scale offender is India; the State Department itself has stated that more than 2.3 million women and girls work against their will as prostitutes, and the United Nations estimates that two-fifths are under 18. Yet India is unable to tell the State Department of any convictions for sex trafficking, even though the practice is widespread and illegal. Similarly, Thailand has a huge number of child sex slaves, possibly as many as 1 million, but convictions are unheard of. Cambodia, a small country, has an estimated 20,000 child slaves in brothels; again, this routine crime is routinely unpunished. washingtonpost.com
