It's called "compassion fatigue". It works like this.

African: "Help me! I'm starving! I need help!"
Stupid Westerner: "You poor person. Let me send you some food".

(Two weeks later)

African: "Help me! I'm starving! I need help!"
Stupid Westerner: "Umm, OK, here's some more food. Now straighten out your country and help yourself!"

(Four weeks later)

African: "Help me! I'm starving! I need help!"
Stupid Westerner: "Didn't we just go through this? Alright, here's still some more food. Now fix up your mess and stop bothering me!"

(Six weeks later)

African: "Help me! I'm starving! I need help!"
Not so stupid Westerner: "Forget it. You're a basket case. You've exhausted my compassion, my reserves and my patience. I could care less about you at this point. In fact, you'd be doing us all a favor by dying, so die already and shut up!"
African: "Hatemonger!"

And so it goes....

Well i think its to the US credit that they have provided the vast bulk of the aid.

Obviously more of the aid needs to be spent on helping them help themselves than just food.

Personally, i dont care if they are "stupid" 14 million deaths is a terrible tragedy

Just as it is not in the financial interests of Jesse the Jack, Al Nottoosharpton, or Marxine Waters to ever give in one iota on the race issue, it is not in the interest of "Feed the Chilun" or any other NGO to solve or aleviate any poverty problems.

No more taxpayer bucks for foreingers' food.
