Live 8 does nothing to end poverty

I could not help but to be tempted to bang my head against the wall over everybody happy over the Live 8 concert in Philadelphia. What’s worse is that the media is spinning it as if it’s a great success. First of all the event is free, and if they would have to pay one cent would you honestly think they would have a great turnout like they had this weekend? I think not.
Let me give you people a good common sense answer to solve the problems in Africa. Let’s get rid off all of those thugs, and dictators that run all of these African territories that keep the food, and money we give them to themselves, and not give it to the people that need it. President Bush is right on this point spreading freedom to oppressed people is the true answer to ending poverty.
In closing all this amounts up to is one big bully taking our lunch money (all of the donations we make to these people over the years) every day, and keeping it to themselves, and in the end nothing gets done. There is not much more to say about that. I would love to hear what others have to say about it.
