Africa, the US, and China

Interesting piece here for you to read.

Blurb here:
As things stand, the United States, with its emphasis on good government, democracy and rights has positioned itself to be the friend of African peoples, while China positions itself as a friend of African governments.
Interesting indeed.

It's a little odd how the media hasn't been covering Bush's visit to Africa very well -- or talking much at all about his policies in Africa either that have been beneficial.

Must rush off to the library -- sorry for the lapse in blogging!

Even if the media (or at least the shrinking mainstream side of it) were not so reflexively anti-Bush, it wouldn't cover this because it's election season and Bush is a lame duck.

True, true.

Still, it ought to be "on the record," historically speaking...
