terrorists are in iraq because of the massive power vacuum that occured after the invasion....they werent there before.

as for giving money to africa and debt relief, you cant just keep giving people money and wiping out debts to solve problems. if we just forgive debts and spend money, its just providing a temp solution to a problem and not fixing it. africa is what it is today because of its post imperial era. before the invaders came, they were more self reliant. now, they are dependent on our aid and our way of life to survive. it is a sad and depressing situation they are in, but they are and they are going to be fucked for quite some time. there are so many problems with AIDs, poverty, tribal wars, racism and corruption that there is not going to be a solid, effective solutino. bono and the boy bands can have all the concerts they want, its not going to solve anything. its a problem the west created and is in many ways unwilling and incappable of fixing any time soon.
