[PEN-L:5223] Re: Foreign Aid/...

I would like to agree with M. Hill that blanket disapproval of foreign aid is
a very poor policy.  Part of the problem with disapproving aid for
governments 'we' think are 'undemocratic' is that the terms 'we' and
'undemocratic' are so poorly defined.  For example, Marcos in the Phillipines
was about as undemocratic as they come and who knows how much aid went to
stocking whatshernames shoe closet -- yet the 'we' of the U.S. government
considered this a democratic regime.  I am sure most people could provide
their own examples .... maggie coleman mscoleman@xxxxxxx
