Enough's enough already.

Just because they "need," and we "have," doesn't mean we "owe." It's their own culture that holds them back.

Africa is blessed with incredible natural resources -- gold, diamonds, oil, etc. Why can't this be redistributed among the African nations before they come to us for more handouts?

This is the same deal as the American welfare system.

We are harming these people by providing them with free handouts. We are crippling them by keeping them in a constant state of dependence.

I feel like an "enabler" when we send "aid" to these failed nations.

It seems that much of the aid is skimmed off by their leaders who are keeping the people in a state of near starvation generation after generation so they can get more aid to skim.

It's like farming.
