Subject: No USA means no PNG
In reply to: 's message, "USAID??" on 19:23:46 02/13/00 Sun

The many levels of USA aid.

1. Security: The United States funds a military that polices the entire globe. The Pacific has always been one of the highest priorities to America. They operate the Seventh Fleet which is by far the most powerful and expensive grouping of weaponry the World has ever seen. The Seventh Fleet is located in the Pacific. America has been and hopefully always will be the major deterrent against an Indonesian invasion. So it could be argued that PNG would have become nothing more then a part of the state of Indonesia if not for the United States and namely their relationship to the ANZAC treaty.

2. Financial: America is the majority supplier of the funding for organizations like the IMF so that they have the ability to bale out financially mismanaged countries like PNG.

3. Sundry: America rebuilt both Japan and Europe after WW II so any benefits that PNG receives from any of those two places can be fundamentally linked to USA aid.

4 Economic: The American business machine fuels all of the economies of the world. All of the major companies in PNG are associated with America in one way or another.

Final thoughts: The lack of direct financial aid and investment by America and American companies is a litmus test to the state of the management of that country. A highly corrupt country like PNG will not receive very much direct aid or investment because Americans ultimately must answer to the tax payers or share holders that have a direct stake in the policy decisions of the country as a whole or as a corporation. So if you're not getting as much aid from America as you believe you deserve then the responsibility falls back on the citizens of PNG and their representatives to make a country that becomes more desirable for a Nation like America to aid or to invest in. Take away America and we have chaos in the world. The presence of America is, in most cases, the only reason why small defenseless countries like PNG can exist.
