Mumia Abu-Jamal -- G.W. in Africa?

Bush is in Africa for the same reason that he forced the invasion of Iraq — for money.

That's the new globalism, which is nothing but prettified New Age colonialism, the unbridled greed of industrial nations for more, and more of the world's wealth.

Whenever I see rich and superrich folks like Bush (and those he fronts for) talking about 'helping' poor people, I am reminded of the words of the British economist, John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) who once remarked, "Capitalism is the extraordinary
belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all."

As the U.S. economy lurches towards freefall, and as manufacturing jobs flee south across the U.S. border, as cities and states slash essential services, does it seem reasonable that an American president will rush to 'help' Africans when America
faces such serious challenges?

Like a lion silently stalks his prey is how Bush stalks the African veldt. He comes, not to give, but to get. (more)
