This all really doesn't make sense, our country is doing horrible (in numerous aspects)

No offense, but compared to every country in Africa our country is doing damn good. If our economy shirks a quarter and people can't by a second SUV for the family we start crying bloody murder. Over there, pretty much the entire continent is at war, they're mostly ruled by corrupt tyrants, and in some countries %25 of the population has aids.
The developed world rapes Africa for its recources, we should give a little bit back. I can't understand why some of the liberals on the board aren't for this. Howard Zinn said we should become a "Humanitarian Superpower". Anytime Bush does something that goes along with Zinn I'll agree with him. The next democratic president will change the rules, and the clinics will probablly be physically seperated by a tarp. I don' see an inspector for USAID going to some rural clinic in the middle of Zambia.
As for the whole condom thing, condoms work %99 of the time, Abstenance doesn't. Why? Cause people aren't gonna stop having sex. I sure as hell won't. Prostitutes who are doing it so they don't starve/ rape victims/ people in lust aren't gonna stop bcause theres a small chance they'll catch a disease that will kill them 10 years in the future. Give that person a package of condoms and they might live.
