Freedom and Prosperity

Claudia Rosett makes the point that Bush's policy to spread freedom would also help many third-world nations escape grinding poverty. For all the media whining about poverty in America, it remains a myth when compared to the lives of people in areas like Africa, South and Central America and the areas under the control of the Palestinian Authority. I hope that the President will emphasize that freedom includes the right to own private property, which is the seed of economic growth.
