yeah I was about to mention the same thing as AcGrundy... ma grand dad was tellin me about that when I was in india. about how America can't sell a lot of the food because many countries cannot afford to buy a lot. But at the same time if they sold it very cheap the richer countries won't want to pay the normal price for them. Economics can be fucked up. We humans have made life so complex for ourselves.

Trauma did you even read the article? It said the US will only increase aid to the countires who pass a set of qualifications, which I think is good, BUT what about the people who have to live under corrupt rule in countries who don't comply with Bush's rules. They get no help.

Its a nice idea but turning aid into a business isn't the way to go.
