Powering Virtuous Circles

There's no shortage of opportunities to support important causes. Lot of charities are local and community based. Some are more internationally- and future-oriented such as Amnesty International, EFF, Long Now Fondation, World Vision, the AFCLU, and Oxfam to name just a few. Everyone can add their favorite. But let's say you were interested in a "tool" to leverage the least amount of money into the largest measurable effect over time. For that I'd like to recommend a type of giving that multiplies itself. Over the years, these are the criteria I've adopted for this challenge:

1) The help is aimed at the lowest, those with the least, where small makes a huge difference.
2) The gift expands itself, gaining amplitude with each cycle.
3) The range is global.

Think of it as enabling philanthropy: take a minimum of money and aim it at the precise point where it can do the maximum good, multiplied by many generations. Maximum good is measured simply: when you enable someone to enable someone else. That is a virtuous circle. I've found the follow three do-good organizations to meet these criteria. They fund the neediest in the world. They are highly-evolved programs that produce amazing results. And one tangential result is that when we give to these three, we feel optimistic.

BAGHDAD (Reuters)
 Iraq's U.S. governor Paul Bremer was the man who told the world on Sunday U.S. troops had captured Saddam Hussein with the words: "We got him."

While I was reading the news, I saw many photos for Saddam Hussein that made me think about some details in his face, I'll list them down for you, and then tell me if he is the real Saddam or not, but before that look carefully at the following Photos:

         

1. The most famous mark In Saddam's face is on his chin, which is appears clearly in all his photos before the capture him, try going to www.google.com and search for Saddam then click on Images, so you can see all his pictures, and compare between the pictures you'll see and the pictures they published after they captured him.

 

2. The most weird thing that I can't understand till now, how come a 66 years aged man who spent all this time scared of death or what is worse than that, still have a black colored hair if his beard was made ready to be white?

 

3. If you ever tried to grow up your beard for 7 months lets say, (I think he lost his shaving machine before less than 7 months - Bush didn't take it from him directly ) it wont every be this long, we do believe that he is one of the worse terrorists on the earth like Osama Ben Laden, but doesn't have to look like him. 

 

4. The nose looks much bigger than Saddam's nose, like he was under make up for a Saddam Capturing Movie.

 

5. Why they show him moving in the video only before shaving? Why the didn't show us a moving Saddam after they shaved his face? This kind of beards and eye boarders can change any one to Saddam before he shaved. 

We all want to believe its him!
But we also want the truth ?
Is it true that Baghdad celebrates Saddam's capture ?
I Guess not Saddam Hussein.
