That depends on which problem we are trying to address. Some places need jobs/industry, some places need non-corrupt governments, some places need to over throw the governments, some places need money, some places need materials.

Just noticed that Bush is cutting overseas food aid by $100 million due to budget difficulties (http://www.organicconsumers.org/corp/foodaid122204.cfm) - perhaps the $40 million being spent on his inauguration celebrations might have been better spent in this area? All he has to do is read a speech...

There's one problem with that thinking Sham, the $40 million that was spent, was spent by PRIVATE individuals not the US government. President Bush CAN NOT control how private individuals wish to spend their money.
