    How can captilism or any sort of government succeed when the governments are so corrupt? Most people don't have educations, what sort of job would they get? Sure there are the typical labor jobs, but how many people can work as laborers?
    The author just seems to attack people who want to do the best they can and actually help without give any better advice on how to import capitalism. I can't imagine getting countless of people fair jobs and reconstructioning the governments of those places to insure the people's safety is going to happen anytime soon, or any governments are going to start helping. Perhaps the author would like to suggest to the American government how to fix it instead of telling people that their charity is worthless.

    edit:
    "Throwing money at African governments is not the answer," he said, adding that it would serve only to make African governments less rather then more transparent.
    What money is getting thrown? And Live 8 can't make it worse than it already is. People would have resented them if they had gotten up and preached about why Africa needs new leaders. It doesn't matter what they did, some people will always think that just because people are rich and celebrities means that they shouldn't have opinons.
