Foreign aid - good or evil?

[MMI]

I agree, Stealth, even if we could argue about what would be an appropriate amount to withhold (if UN can't see it being distributed, then maybe all of it should be withheld).

But if withholding aid doesn't help, then I think the UN should muscle in and if the government objects, it should be neutralised until the aid problem is resolved.

(I feel like a right-wing reactionary saying this. I'll be telling them to embrace democracy next, whether they want to or not!!!)

MMI, it's not reactionism, it's only common sense. if you know your generosity is going to be abused, you don't extend that hand. or you take precautions.
