We could help develop the poor world in the post-colonial period after <SPAN id="lw_1242164756_4" class="yshortcuts">World War II</SPAN> because we had a precious period of peace. When <SPAN id="lw_1242164756_5" class="yshortcuts">John Kennedy</SPAN> became president, the <SPAN id="lw_1242164756_6" class="yshortcuts">Alliance for Progress</SPAN>, in which we invested alongside the Latins in their future, was wonderfully successful, but only while JFK lived and inspired the process.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucgg/20090512/cm_ucgg/grassrootsdevelopmentmayholdpromiseinmuslimworld"><P>

Early in May one of the most thoughtful men on this subject visited Washington and shared some of his original, and workable, ideas. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucgg/20090512/cm_ucgg/grassrootsdevelopmentmayholdpromiseinmuslimworld"><P>
The charming, Harvard-educated Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary spiritual leader or Imam of the 12 million-member Shia Ismaili community in 25 countries across <SPAN id="lw_1242164756_7" class="yshortcuts">Asia</SPAN> and Africa. He was frank about the unfortunate, but real, failures of democracy as "the" developmental mechanism, as he spoke here in one of the clearest delineations of thinking about human development today.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/801D33A2-E46C-4516-8819-2B2726E7CE8E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
