No, it's not about being special, it's about self-governance.  Is there
any _particular_ reason you think that Americans should be setting policy
in Africa, rather than Africans?

And they honestly couldn't care less what policy Americans set in America.
The stated objection was to Owen's punative attempt to delay 2003-15 by
making it unpalatable, which would mean it would have to be returned next
cycle, wasting even more of everybody's time.

Please, people, listen to Michael Dillon...  There's no reason to stand in
the way of African self-governance.  Doing so is just mean-spirited and
pointless.  Unneighborly.
