Her statements may be naive at most and she deserves more respect that you give, she is working to help Africa. AIDS is on her doorstep, killing her children, friends and neighbours, it is eating Africa from the inside. And still she work for Africa, building, educating and sharing. She is growing Africa. Her statement may not have a seemlessly solid foundation, but it spells out her desperate need for understanding why her people are dying.
How much has this bullshit Iraq war cost? How many HIV infected/poverty stricken families could have been helped for the price of one missile? It's disgusting and pointless what is happening.
