    Also just a question Do you feel that we are making other countries hate us, and using that as an excuse to restart imperialism ?

    I have a contrary viewpoint on this.

    To begin with, the idea of global taxation is just so wrong, I don't care what lofty goals they use to justify it. I could guarantee that it would serve the purpose of corruption and bureaucracy more than anything else.

    The only way that countries as well as individuals throughout the world are going to achieve an adequate level of prosperity to eliminate hunger is through self sufficiency. No country in the world has ever become self reliant by depending on handouts.

    Is the U.S. turning its back on world hunger? Not by any means. But instead of increased handouts, the U.S. is promoting economic growth and the use of agricultural science and technology to help overcome poverty and hunger in underdeveloped countries.

    And finally, individuals wanting to help the cause of relief efforts in the world are free to do so - and should do so. People can use their own wisdom to choose charitable organizations that are in all probability a lot more caring and certainly more efficient than a body of the world's political bureaucrats.

    I find it far more alarming that the UN has done virtually nothing to stop the massacre taking place in the western Darfur region of the Sudan. An estimated 50,000 people have been killed and 1.4-million displaced in Darfur, where UN observers themselves say pro-government militias are carrying out a scorched-earth campaign of ethnic cleansing against non-Arab minorities.

    Yesterday Sudan President Omar al-Beshir personally thanked Algeria, China, Pakistan and Russia which had blocked support for any strong UN efforts to deal with this crisis. A spokesman for Human Rights Watch declared that the UN Security Council will be judged harshly by history for its pitifully ineffective response to the ongoing murder, rape and torture of Darfur civilians in the Sudan

    I partially agree w/ you on that. The UN has done quite a bit to try to stop this, but they won't get a U.S. backing from it because of the Iraq crap. We would go in guns-a-blaizin' as usual. But the problem is, it'll end up a lot like mozambique. So that's a lot of top brass don't want to touch it. We're stretched too thin as it is, because of the idiotic war in Iraq. The issue with world hunger is this, those that have food have power, those that have the food in 3rd world countries horde it. and use it to by peoples lives, slavery and such. by growing the cotton industry, all we're doing is creating more sweatshops simple as that. Same crap we do in Asia. People are starving now, they don't need food in 5 years if their economy grows.
    They need it right now, so they don't die. The War in Iraq Cost the United States $136,231,421,544, Instead, we could have fully funded global anti-hunger efforts for 5 years.
