I ask this question because of the curiosity that fills me considering the on-going US presidential debate and the place of Africa within the US economy. For far too long Africa has been an undeniable player in the wealth creation of the West. However, it has been so well down played that the average americans idea of Africa remains a desolate place of pain and agony that lives in the pictures of the crises in Durfur, Sudan, Zimbabwe and the Somalia of yester-years.

Its been 8 years of rule of the Bush’s administration and his second visit to Africa comes a few months to the end of his term in power. The reason for his visit isn’t known as many africans continue to question why he makes such a visit at a time when he is about to leave post. Many issues have been raised, being1. To save face by saying that he has done much to help the poorest people in the world; that indeed is true as his spending on AIDS and money spent in Africa exceeds that of which has been spent by his predecessors.2. To set up a military base in Africa. This in fact to many Africans and Ghanaians are like is the main reason why he made this trip. By this trip it is believed that he hopes to begin a the process of a modern day re-colonization of Africa, by first and foremost setting up a base in a stable country and there-after annexing the United States to the minerals and oil that the US has so come to depend on.

I am alone in most times in my thoughts and my ideas. seemingly far less tolerant, and often unsympathetic. Considered to be very critical and quick to lash out at flaws I find, I am here to do just that. I am a prodigy of an educational system that is premiere in the world, providing tomorrows future in leadership, just as they have done for years now. However I find the actions despicable and despiteful although their products agreeable and desirable. It is for such that i am bothered to write, of what I find to be the policies foundered on poor ethical basis, becoming the bane on which the perils of the world today rests.To start of here it is this very educational system that thought me ethics, providing me the best ever lecture attended however I am prepared to bash this same system for failing to do its duty. Maybe I am wrong and my attention needs to be directed toward the parents and kindergarten teachers, for that is where a child is molded. I say no, however for the reason that the time is now and that there may never be a tomorrow.
