Pesticide use for Malaria Control in Africa (18)
------------------------------------------------

Craig,

Though I do not second many of your ideas or words, I must con-
gratulate you for your boldness to express what many know is the
truth and do not express:

>"Because every time industry tries to invest in Africa he has to
>bribe so many people that it is no longer viable. Even if they
>go ahead and build, it is one thing after another to fleece the
>industry out of its money till they leave. Until Africa gets
>leadership that truly cares about its people nothing will
>change. American and European tax monies will be poured down a
>rat hole and the poor will continue to die from diseases that
>have been put on the insignificant list in places that have a
>responsible government to its citizenry."
>
>"Clean up the disease and industry will follow close behind.
>Business people like a friendly environment where they can get a
>quality and healthy workforce. Prosperity lurks around the cor-
>ner of those that realize these simple points."

I would suggest USA or Canada or Europe refrain from funding Af-
rica or Asia. Then they will come to terms with whatever they
have and prosperity will prevail in the end. In the process,
many millions may die; even otherwise they are dying, thanks to
their own leaders, bureaucrats and businessmen greed!!

But Craig, for sure USA or Europe has many hidden agenda to fund
Africa or Asia. I recollect, no sooner Bangladesh discovered
gas, the President of America, for the first time in history,
visited Bangladesh, breaking a visit to India. Is not for self-
ish ends?!!

I am with you if you say, get away from hypocrisy and let trans-
parency and accountability rule the world. Let there be fair
play and justice. Let not anyone act superior to anyone else, as
all are equal. It's just that some have been privileged to be
born in a society, which has got an edge over others, looting
and plundering the wealth of other nations. But it may not be
too long, before the fortunes are turned around.

If I have my way, I can show a prosperous Asia or Africa and a
poor USA or Europe!! You have already invited doom, by trying to
become the BIG POLICEMAN for the world. At what cost is what
your own countrymen are asking which your Governments are not
able to answer. Unfortunately the whole world is paying the
price. Pride goes before a fall. I saw it happen with my own
eyes for the late Enron, and now New Orleans!! This is the price
for all the atrocities and rape in Afghanistan or Iraq. Where
has all the humility, culture, ethics and leadership of USA or
Europe gone?
