What The Third World - and America - Needs

The Clinton Foundation was Colonialism. Instead of providing goods and services to those in need it spent its money on "infrastructure" meaning bureaucracy to manage a few projects. While the projects, things like cookstoves or clean water, themselves may be worthy they are MacGuffins. What the Third World nations lack is clean honest and effective government. That is the one thing that Clinton could not provide. NGOs provide Governance by foreigners as a substitute for Government by locals.

The concept of Citizenship is the foundation of the American Experiment, with credit to the Swiss for inventing it in the modern context first along with Federalism. There is no more important job for our politicians and our schools than in reiterating this constantly.

What the 3rd World needs are Missionaries, of the old fashioned kind. They do not even have to promote a religion that I adhere to but that is OK.
