RE: "Leave Bush and Blair

Opening the markets only works if you drop your insane subsidy regime. You should do that anyway...it only supports the corporate factory farms and actually harms the family farmer.

Similarly, dropping the debt with the caveat of African nations cleaning up corruption only works if you are willing to hold western/northern politicians and corporations culpable for their part in the corruption. If somebody is taking a bribe, somebody else is paying it.
