I've discussed the
problems with foreign aid before. International aid can help (
and hurt) for a while, but long term improvement needs
something more foundational,
The long term solution isn't to convince the U.S. Trade Representative to drop barriers to exchange, it's to drop the U.S. Trade Representatives all together. Imagine how many lives could have been saved if Haiti had been given an open opportunity to produce, trade, and escape poverty.
Update: Trade is good for our friends and our "enemies".
