Also I have always said, EDUCATE the people about birth control. I cant stand to see starving kids, how can their own parents watch it? Point is there is alot of corruption over there,by their own people. It is sad.

There is a lot of corruption here too. We have plenty of politicians and people willing to rob us blind. Many Countries have the same problems and issues. When I send packages to South America - it's the same story with theft.. what I do is place a picture of Jesus on the outside of the package. They are mostly catholic there and officials will usually not open it then.
Jim just because a Country is poor and has a multitude of bad thugs, doesn't mean you give up on people and wish the County was wiped clean. There are some amazing talented families in Africa. Just cause you don't see it doesn't make it not so...
Terrorists think as you do about the USA.
