Steyn: Capitalism Rocks!

Mark Steyn responds to the lalapalooza of feelgoodism that was "Live 8" and unmasks what really should have taken place. Africa is paralyzed with problems and has been aided financially by the U.S. year after year, but has it helped those for whom it was intended. Why don't we send conditional aid...we'll do this, if you do that. How about discouraging Marxist dictators by snubbing them and rewarding the countries who truly wish to help themselves. What would be wrong with that?

Wesley Pruden has an excellent piece in which he offers a possible solution to Africa's hopelessness.
