If there is no oil, it will help the image of the US to REALLY do something to help the people there, without ulterior hidden motives. And I think that after the illegal Iraq invasion, the image of the US needs some big time overhaul, vis a vis the rest of the world. So, this looks to me like the perfect opportunity for Bush to lighten the attention from Iraq.
It is a little bit like a guy who just did a bank robery thinking of giving away some money to a charity, just to make himself feel better. But then, this goes against the true nature of the guy...
Or maybe am I wrong and cynic, and the US genuinely seeks to topple dictators and promote democracy. Then, definitely YES it should go to Africa.
