Default Re: Foreign Aid; Is Europe Obliged to Help the Third World?

I'm not interested in watching people die. But let's make one thing clear. All the strutting ego-driven concerts don't add up to a dime...

What can be done is to develop an international trade consensus to compel multinationals to behave ethically, remove their support for junta's and a system of tair trade should then regulate commerce. If people are actually dying at a catastrophic rate then aid should be rendered, otherwise hand-outs breed dependence although technical advisors are permissable...

If such measures are implemented (they won't be, the status quo is too profitable) then positive improvements will be seen in Africa within 50 years. Naturally that won't satisfy that whiney Corr woman but waving a magic wand was never realistic proposition was it..?
