I swore I wasn't going to post on TOTV anymore, but I couldn't let this go by. Here's another link which describes food aid to Africa in general, and considers actual aid to Kenya.

Basically it says that the actual food arriving there is about half of what it used to be. But all that aside, if you read the letter from Dubai carefully, you'd see that the student lived in Kenya till probably late teens, then spent at least 6 years in America attending university and obtaining advanced degrees, and now lives in Dubai. So, to say that the person "didn't take the time or have the inclination", is being pretty shortsighted. You don't know what that person's circumstances were in Kenya, and if they leave the country when they are a teenager, any aide donations would be meaningless for them. In addition, a person's view of another country is based on any number of actions by that country. Bush's foreign policy decisions have been panned by countries across the globe. What the letter from Dubai does indicate though, is that some foreignors consider Bush a lunatic. And I guess with U.S. approval ratings as low as he has, many Americans agree.
