Originally posted by AKDejaVu The amount of people willing to be helped will always be overshadowed by the few people that aren't going to allow it. We can send food... it can get seized. We can send books... they can get burned. We can send medicine... it can expire. In the end, we can spend way too much money to get way too little done.Unless someone is willing to go in by force and set up governments in each and every nation... this will always be the way it is.
