The most effective way for U.S. citizens to improve the situation in Africa is to focus on getting rid of the current administration and installing one that can provide some actual leadership. (That's also the most effective way for us to get measures implemented that can mitigate the effects of future natural disasters here, and for that matter to do something to prevent them, i.e., by stopping global warming--if it can be stopped at this point.) The Katrina disaster is something we can provide very concrete help with *now*. And it isn't just a matter of the death toll, of course, but of the ongoing suffering of several million people. ------------------------ Yahoo!
