Does anyone have any information to counter this:"The US should aid sub-saharan Africa."?

Question

I don't want any opinions. I need professional articles/ opinions. Also, Please don't post if you are just going to say We should help Africa. This is for debate and I am negative. Any info saying how we should not help Africa will be helpful. If you know any sites that will be very nice. anythings showing that money has been wasted there or that tries in the past were failures or anything at all. please post

Answer 1

The Genocide in Rwanda back in 1993-1994.

Answer 2

You could argue that in the past when the US has put money into such areas, the regimes that were supported have become a thorn is their side - such as Bin Lardin (sp?). In some cases the regimes that were supported became more oppressive than the ones removed and still did not benefit the US. Of course you could use the old adage "Charity begins at home" and there are many is the US who need help (ah, but that smacks of a welfare state - too socialist eh?).
Hope this helps.
