Just a bunch of bitter leftists spouting off
I damn well hope that if Bush is touring Africa, that it is in the interest of America in some way. That's what we pay him for.
And I think there's a little leftist jealousy involved (and not for the first time) that Bush may actually accomplish something, instead of just spouting sympathetic hot air and holding expensive catered conferences in the Third World.
As rock star Geldof put it, as part of a much larger discussion of what exactly Bush and others had done, or not done in Africa:
"You'll think I'm off my trolley when I say this, but the Bush administration is the most radical - in a positive sense - in its approach to Africa since Kennedy,"
...Clinton was a good guy, but he did fuck all."
P.S. I don't think we should send troops to Liberia.
