I can't believe the EU is only willing to put up a billion dollars when George 'Satan' Bush is talking about putting up 15 billion dollars. What gives Europe (France and Germany!)?

melon said:I think that the economic situation between the EU and the US are probably different. Asking for $15 billion from the US is pocket change (considering we have no problem accumulating a $400 billion deficit in one year), while $15 billion from the EU is a lot, considering the weaker economies they have. I think the EU is more of an emerging economy, rather than an existing one.

I am not disputing your claim that EU economies are emerging. However, I would like to see a percentage of aid from the US vs. the EU. Is the US economy really that much stronger than 15 of the most 'developed' European nations?

While the new law allows for up to $15 billion over the five year period, it does not bind the administration to this amount - the administration could trim the programme in future years if it wished.

I question the BBC's reporting. The news organization is obviously left leaning and it seems like it is in the BBC's interest in reporting on anything that presents Americans (particulary Bush) in a negative light, as it sells papers these days.

Perhaps you would prefer a fair, reliable, unbiased and credible news service with years of experience to draw upon and a stellar reputation throughout the world? Fox News?

The US has therefore found a way out to force the African countries into submission. The US Senate has passed a Bill "the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003," (HR 1298)", which in a diplomatic way (calling it as `sense of Congress') links financial aid for combating HIV AIDS with GM food acceptance. Section 104A states that "individuals infected with HIV have higher nutritional requirements than individuals who are not infected with HIV, particularly with respect to the need for protein. Also, there is evidence to suggest that the full benefit of therapy to treat HIV/AIDS may not be achieved in individuals who are malnourished, particularly in pregnant and lactating women.
The next sentence reads: "It is therefore the sense of Congress that the US food assistance should be accepted by countries with large populations of individuals infected or living with HIV/AIDS, particularly African countries, in order to help feed such individuals."
They just looking for a way to sell their Genetic engeneerd food,...nobody else want to have it.kobayashi said:this znet article discusses the bush administrations promotion of genetically modified foods. in this section the link between genetically modified foods and 'the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Act of 2003' bill is explained
american spending is not without its self serving benefits.
Depents of the resistance of the consumers. I do not know for Europe but here in the Netherlands there is a law that it should be on the label if a product is made with GM ingredi?nts. The most consumers do not want GM food so i would be hard to make GM products profit making. But for Africa it is a different situation, they have no choice to refuse those products at the end,...Klaus said:Rono:
The WTO forces the EU to allow Genetic engineered food in their countries - so.. i guess there will be a big market for that crap in the near future

Would not suprise me,...wolfwill23 said:
I knew it must have been something. Damn. Even though the US is giving billions towards AIDS, it's only to help the evil, US corporations and those nasty farmers.
Rono said:Would not suprise me,...
wolfwill23 said:
Yeah, would not surprise me either. Damn, evil Americans. What do you think their plan is after they feed starving African's with GM food? What's their next step? Freeing a country from an evil dictator? Stopping the spread of Communisim? Or will they stop the killing of 6mil innocent Jews?
I'm with you. Those Americans are always up to something and we don't owe them anything!

The western countries should listen to Africa for what the need, instead we decide what they get.
