good questions

yes, yes, yes, yes

But how do you feed the children of North Korea with Kim Jong ll in power? How do you get the aid to the children of Somolia when the warlords steal it?

What good does it do to send aid to some of the Sub-Saharan African countries when the leaders take the funds and refuse to educate their people.

We have roughly 6.3 billion people in this world with 3 billion living beneath the poverty line on less than $2.00 a day. 1 billion is living in extreme poverty on less than $1.00 per day.

Of the 140 democracies only 14 countries have the majority of their people living beneath the poverty line. I think that freedom is a right
of every citizen of this world . but I also think that most free societies can then care for their own citizens. So I woudl suggest we can promote both freedom and economic growth at the same time
