At The Most Basic Level,

America's Government Is Not Even Aware Of The Gap Between Its Commitments And Action, Because Almost Nobody In Authority Understands The Actions That Would Be Needed To Meet The Commitments.

Tax The Rich. End The Wars. Break The Power Of Lobbies In Washington. These Are The Demands Of Occupy Wall Street. They Are Very Important. The Us Corporations Dominate Washington. The Big Oil Companies, Wall Street Banks And The Military-industrial Complex - They Rule This Country And Their Influence And Power Has To Be Broken.

The Time Has Come To End This Charade. The Debts Are Unaffordable. If They Won't Cancel The Debts I Would Suggest Obstruction; You Do It Yourselves. Africa Should Say: 'thank You Very Much But We Need This Money To Meet The Needs Of Children Who Are Dying Right Now So We Will Put The Debt Servicing Payments Into Urgent Social Investment In Health, Education, Drinking Water, Control Of Aids And Other Needs.'

It's The American Leadership That Has Not Played The Role It Should Be Playing And That Leaders In Other Countries Have Been Playing.

The Rich Do Not Have To Invest Enough In The Poorest Countries To Make Them Rich; They Need To Invest Enough So That These Countries Can Get Their Foot On The Economic Ladder . . . Economic Development Works. It Can Be Successful. It Tends To Build On Itself. But It Must Get Started.
