Bush is gallivanting around the world, people are silently dying. Rather than crushing people in Iraq under sanctions and then liberating them, Bush could be a champion of democracy for the Africans, who would welcome succour in the form of U.N. backed democratic reform, which in turn will lead to economic reform. I refuse to believe that a whole race of people is just incapable of self governance, just as Mr. Bush refuses to believe that an entire race of people in the middle-east is incapable of self governance.

This news is three days older than the previous one, but it makes me wonder,"Why does the threat of starvation loom over a country's people's heads when the country tries to be powerful?"

How long have you gone without food? Do you how it is to starve? Honestly, I don't. I cannot imagine what those people are going through. That is what makes it easier, I think, easier to neglect them, the whole incomprehensibility of it. Parents should be worried about their kids reading about the extreme human suffering in the world today, rather than watching violence or lewdness on T.V., for it can be a lot more psychologically scarring than many things they show on T.V.
