You are partly right on AID. I worked with AID for many many years. AID is given as a token to the country's officials to help the people of the respective countries.. Unfortunately, the people benefit probably one penny out of every dollar. The officials squander the rest. The US is interested primarily in getting the right votes at the UN so countries get AID (which goes to the reigning officials)to vote the way the US wants votes to go...

Have some money.
I would prefer that the G8 remove their tarrifs and
quotas so that Hondurans and Africans can work
themselves out of poverty themselves.
BTW: I'm going to Honduras in February 2006.
