G8 Relief... who benefits?

Do not be surprised if this economic altruism is a front for
structural reforms such as privatization (water), labor union
restrictions and easy access for international business interests in
each of the 18 countries. Please investigate the actual document which
was signed by the G8, ironically none of the countries involved were
asked or required to sign this international binding pact. Relief
without restrictions would be more humanistic and help reestablish
some Soft Power in the region. (See Nye for a description of Soft
Power)

remember there is no such thing as a free lunch
