Im all for helping starving people in other parts of the world, but what about the needy and starving people in our own back yards. Why cant we do more for US citizens? Why do we send Billions over seas when there are homeless here?

We should be creating a diplomatic partnership. It will help make America a safer place to live in. Another thing that the Obama administration should be focusing on is helping eradicate global hunger. The more people that are left starving, the more people there are for the Taliban to potentially recruit. If all it takes is giving them food, shelter and schools for their children (which are things they really need) why wouldn't you want to pledge an allegience to them? The Borgen Project (www.borgenproject.org) has some great ideas to help reduce poverty and make developed countries a better place to live in.
