Why america is spending alot of money on war agaist terror instead of helping poor counties like Malawi.?

Answer 1

It's not America my friend, it's our president and many of us disagree with what is happening

Answer 2

...why should it help poor countires like Malawi, what do teh citizens of the US get for their tax dollarrs by 'helping' anywhere

...if it feels threatened why shouldn't it fight the source of what it believes are the problems and threats facing it.

...think about it if you were a US taxpayer would you want to spend money on defending your way of living (fighting the war on terror) or giving money to dictators and swiss bankers or beaurocrats). In practise much of the money given to poor countries is frittered away on poorly though out, badly implemented projects, some is syphoned off by the administrtation, the UN administtration, the charities the NGOs doign the projects need some butty to keep going. Some projects dont actually help the people in need, Much development aid goes to help the urban middle classes, not all of it goes to where it would be of most use.

Many projects actively distort the the local market so it forces local famers to change practises and loose income.. making them dependant on the food & finaniancial aid.

It would make far more sense for the western countries to trade with those countries and buy goods form there.. trade NOT aid is a damn good slogan and practise. Providing the developed countries dont dump their produce on those local markets, or just as bbad on the world market, kicking out trade from undeveloped nations... thats not an anti US point.. its an anti developed world point (the EU is just as bad, and in many cases far far worse esspecailly in the realms of agricultrual produce)

Answer 3

What return do you get on helping Malawi? It's simple economics, the war 'zone' has many resources which many countries rely on. If it's unstable, has a hidden agenda or presents itself as a threat then it is dealt with as there are a great deal more interested parties who could be deeply affected.

Malawi and Zimbabwe etc. which have there different issues don't directly affect anyone else except their own civilisation so it's not seen as being worth the expense.

Don't shoot me over this though, I'm just trying to understand why, I'm not saying anything is right.

Answer 4

Yeah thats a big question for that Bush man,...since America also own UN alot of money...well its th Government of America not the people cause I think the majority dont even want war against the terror...They just want all peace..

Answer 5

Because the corrupt goverment of malawi will spend it on weapons, to carry on endless wars, so we should keep our money to fight our own wars against these maniacs

Wish the do gooders in this world had half a brain.

Answer 6

Because Malawi hasn't done anything to America or more importantly, for America. More specifically Bush.

Answer 7

definite, we could continuously be spending extra money on our very own human beings! Our human beings choose well-being care, training opportunities, some thing which will elevate them out of poverty! we could renounce looking after the international till we've helped out very own! Billions pass to Africa and it in no way gets to the suitable human beings. And BO desires to deliver one million.one million trillion while we've the main important deficit in the historic past of our united states? we've tens of millions without well-being care, no jobs, previous failing infrastructure, human beings residing in squalor. i think of Hillary is sturdy...we could take back our united states! As to Iraq, the middle East has been battling for hundreds of years...we could make the United countries do what this is meant to do! we choose the international leaders to step and help those countries that are in consistent turmoil. it won't in simple terms be the U. S.. the thought-with regard to the UN is a sturdy component...yet has not been controlled right. The UN desires a pacesetter that isn't thieve....they choose a pacesetter which will unite the countries right into a complication-loose purpose of helping the international.

Answer 8

Why should they help Malawi? Why does Malawi not help itself?
I am against pouring taxpayers money in to the bottoless pit of Africa.

Answer 9

I think they should try and help their own people first. The war in Iraq is not to liberate anyone, there are many evil dictators in the world, so why are we not helping them? Many African countries are poor and barren, we wouldn't get anything out of them. How does killing innocent women and children in Iraq liberate them? Plus the uk and us have many weapons of mass destruction so how can they tell the rest of the world they can't have them, why are they the world police?

Answer 11

Why isn't America helping it's own poor? Because as far as quality of life, America is ranked 43rd world-wide.

When are we going to have national healthcare?
