Iraq War, Middle East conflict, health and development in Africa (3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Gary Merritt's near term message of optimism is a soothing balm for 
the apprehensive. But this optimism may well be misplaced.[1] His 
conclusion that Africa's health development is not best served in the 
long haul by broad reliance on US and other external financing / 
technical assistance is the bitter elixir that policy audiences in 
Africa must swallow and absorb in the near term. 

Thanks Gary for your wisdom.
