Africa is in the condition it's in not because there are insufficient resources to help, but because of politics and petty warlording.
To me that is an excuse, many places in Africa would welcome those wells, also there are other places in the world that would benefit from wells. You will blame Christians for a chance to spread the Gospel while digging wells for those in need of water, or building schools and ect. Yet you will make excuses for the rest of the world not to take action for these who are in need. I think people are always more important than science projects that are probably not beneficial to man and especially if it leaves out the impoverished. We have the ability to give the people of nations with need for water that very water they need, so tell me why don't we and political should never be an excuse.
Did I say that we shouldn't? If you read what I wrote above, you'll see two things: One that we can (and unsaid that we should) help, and two, a recognition that one of the reasons why Africa is in the situation it finds itself in is because of politics and the warlords, which also hampers our ability to help, whether we want to or not.
I don't know who you were directing the rest of it at, as it certainly isn't even remotely related to anything I have said or believe.
