3. America needs change not charity -artical UK

I got this article from World News, Guardian Unlimited - good read on how America should be forced to do right by its own citizens and aid should be contigent on that - the same way we hold up aid from other countries that are abusing their own citizens.


"Of course, the humanitarian imperative means that many people in the UK and around the world will rightly want to help those who lost what little they had in Katrina. The emotion is laudable, but the action is unnecessary since the US can easily afford to help all those affected. And giving will be counter-productive if it in any way reduces the US public and media pressure on the Bush administration to do a better job."
