Most of the money sent to feed those in other countries goes to support the dictators and warlords in charge, that is why they are starving.

Yours is the most primitive and unreal though I ever read. Dictators? Warlords? Aren´t they everywhere, including USA, Europe and China?

That’s why I support Heifer International. The organization purchases the animals for the families and helps them become self-sufficient. Eventually, the whole village has a better standard of living.

“Heifer International”? Isn’t that a support group for fat chicks?

Zoidnight is partly right.

In 2011, the UN admitted in it’s own report on the matter that the prior 50+ years were a disaster when it came to aid to countries that routinely have problems.

The safety valve created by the west has actually prevented many of these nations from solving their own problems. Haiti is a perfect example. Dictator after dictator who ran things into the ground, but things are kept barely livable by the west’s aid.

The results were inconclusive at best in many nation’s “helped” because of the misdirection of money and aid. Because most nations don’t have the Rule of Law, the aid money would end up in the pockets of those who used it to stay in power.

In nations like Ethiopia and the Sudan, food was used as a weapon against their own people.

In Rhodesia/Zimbabwe/whatevernewnames, the dictator wasn’t liked by those who worked the farms, so he allowed squatters to murder the farmers. The “crops would grow themselves.” And so Rhodesia has had to have “food aid” to keep from mass starvation. Twice.

The sad fact is that most of these nations have no interest in solving their problems just as most Americans have no interest in solving their problems.

We know what will fix our nation, but there’s no interest in doing it. Drugs, sex with everything that is capable of it, the complete loss of morals in government and business, the lack of industry, etc., are all solvable, but the average person just wants to party on like nothing’s wrong.
