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

So let's bail them out yet again, and then in a few years or so we can deal with twenty or thirty million starving. Then we bail them out again, and a few years later there are fifty or sixty million starving. Do you see a pattern here?

If they are truly and completely incapable of taking care of themselves, why should we take care of them?

FYI I was referring to the Westerner as the "stupid" one, not the African.
